Painting the insides a bright color would look great if there were half as many things on the shelves. You can try the look by taping up some wrapping paper on a few backs of shelves.

also, places like joanns or michaels have a lot of colors of cardstock in the scrapbooking section. its good to try out colors *and* intensity. anything shy won't show up at all through the glass.

I'm trying to figure out the site: Here's the dilemma: I wanted to leave them bare wood so as to not have this 'wash' of white. Then contractor built the stand alone and painted it white on the interior! I worry it's too much white: stove, sink, back splash, cupboards, curtains...my contrast colors are orange, tangerine and blue (granite is denim blue and the diswasher top was replaced with an orange-ish paperstone). If I were to use a color in the cupboards -- what color? Busy...yeah, there's that too. Thanks.
