Me personally I’d do it now, wait for later and it might not seem so important then. Especially if hubby is doing the work he might try n tell u later that it looks fine the way it is. Lol

So if it’s what u want - go for it!

I think your cabinets are beautiful as they are. New counter tops and hardware would do wonder for it.

I think white cabinets would go much better with that paint color you picked and provide a cleaner/brighter look. I also personally like to get all the painting done at once so that is one less thing on the list. The dark wood is just too overbearing, but that is my opinion. Either way would love to see updated pictures!

Those cabinets are really nice! I wouldn’t paint them. But the counters you picked don’t work with the warm tone. If you have your heart set on the white/grey kitchen that is everywhere and most likely on is way out of style then you have to paint and might as well do that first. Personally, I’d find a counter that was creamier and keep the cabinets as is. You can still brighten up the space without a major overhaul. The stainless appliances will help.

I'm definitely in the camp of painting those cabinets. So dark! It looks like you have a skylight and yet those cabinets really drag down the feel of the room. White or a lighter color would make the room more appealing to be in.

I like wood, but that is dark even for me. I would do a high gloss white with silver hardware. Did that in the kitchen at our last house and my wife loved it.

I just think you should get it out of the way now. It would be easiest to paint the cabinets before the rest of the work is done. It would also go better with the cabinets I see in your laundry room. Weird to have such a contrast between the two. White is right for this room and I think it will be in style much longer than this wood color.

I think that color wood ages the room. I think white would soften everything.

The structure of the cabinets is nice, but I would paint them!

Paint the wood cabinets white and change out the counter tops. I would also update the hardware on the cabinets to something other than black.

White seems to be more in right now. I just think the wood is too dark with the paint color you picked. I think that paint color looks great but needs lighter cabinets and different counter tops to fully pull it off.

I like wood but that is a bit dark. I would paint them.

We had them painted! Alaska granite slab counters will be installed next week!! Can’t wait to see it all finished

Oh my gosh! That looks amazing! Can't wait to see it with the granite. Great job!

update! Still planning to have ceiling lifted and soffit removed this winter and next summer new flooring. Still wishing I had a window. Any other suggestions welcomed.

update: here’s where we are at now. Still planning to have ceiling Lifted and soffit removed this winter and next summer new flooring. I’m bummed there is no window :( any suggestions welcomed.

*ignore Flash cards on wall lol part of a Work project.

That looks fabulous, Nicole. I'm not a always a fan of painting cabs white to update, but yours turned out really nicely. I don't suppose you'd be willing to share what it cost to have them painted?

We had a professional come out and do them in a hard enamel at his shop, the cost was $3300

It looks great!
