I would do white cabinets. I don't love them with the black appliances, but I think b/c the counters are black, it will be ok. I would get a striped rug to cover the floor. I wouldn't do a color. Keep it neutral.

moving soon? just get a newer French door fridge. you could paint the island and get a nice granite top for it if you want a project....the off-white isn't quite right with the floor tiles: you could really pull it all together with the island and not be expensive or time consuming, etc.

I also would not paint the cabinets. Change the hardware on the cabinets. I would suggest when you go to sell to remove the island. It is tight fit and removing it would make the kitchen look larger.

Don't paint the cabs. You are planning on selling? For some buyers, painted wood is not what we are looking for. PS, I like the black appliances...

Agreed that the hardware doesn't work.

If you are selling, you would benefit more from decluttering all countertops and top of cabinets and refrigerator. All surfaces should be clear with only one appliance on countertops such as coffee station. All your stuff will scream “there isn’t enough storage in this house”! Not a good message. Rent a storage unit and move as much out as possible. High backed chairs add to the crowded feeling I see. Change for lower backed chairs at least temporarily. It is always hard making these kind of changes, but clean, open, organized spaces sell houses.

The black hole appliances are far worse than the nice wood cabinets. And the clutter. A professional paint job is far from “inexpensive”. It averages 7-9K.

Yeh, why paint when 1 or more buyers might prefer current look; maybe they like sunset colors or deep colors - skip the whites...

Thank you all!! We will move out before the house goes on the market.... the clutter is out of control, agreed. The island is going to be sold soon. I will go with your suggestion and leave the cabinets as they are... suggestions from those that want me to change the pulls? That's an easy fix. Rugs ordered as well. Thanks, again!!

Maybe with the money you would have spent on a painter you could replace the black appliances with stainless. That might pay for itself when you go to sell, if you get a decent deal on an appliance package. Good luck!

Suggest you leave some furnishings because most people can't visualize anything. Empty houses don't sell as well as ones with "staged" ones that have items here and there in the home. You can even rent some furnishings for "staging" and have fresh, new home look. Good luck.
