If you can't afford new cabinets and cabinet fronts, we would suggest painting them. It will revitalize your kitchen. We would suggest going with white to make the space bigger and brighter. Or a combination of white and a darker color such as blue. It truly looks beautiful.

Benjamin Moore Advance is a paint specifically for cabinets. It can be used without spray equipment. Cabinet Coat is another product. Look for prep and application examples on YouTube and Google. Practice first. These take a few days to fully cure and harden. They'll be longer-lasting than latex.

I tend to agree with Sina and would urge you to do your research before jumping into painting. I can share my experiences with cabinets painted with BM advance. We remodeled our kitchen with custom, factory painted cabinets, but I just couldn’t justify the cost for an 8x6 functional but not fancy laundry room. It seemed silly to replace my original high quality cabinets with lesser big box stock cabinets, so I had my house painter match the new kitchen cabinets and paint with advance. We also did the bathroom cabinets for a facelift until we get new vanities. I’m glad I did this, but there are some drawbacks you should be aware of. First, the wood grain will show and they will not look factory finished. And while the cabinets I painted aren’t heavily used, a year later they are showing some wear. Overall, I’m happy with what I painted, but I think I’d have been very unhappy with the finish quality in an entire kitchen. YMMV

I wouldn't paint these myself; would definitely hire someone.

Well professionally painted cabinets are almost the same cost as getting new cabinets. I say wait until you can do a full remodel.

When you replace the flooring, have them do a toe kick under the cabinets out of wood and stain it to match the cabinets. That will look better than the white toe kick.

I have a similar style and tone but different wood cabinets. I have a vintage style that works well with the cabinets - not for everyone but pics in my "my pics" idea book. I also have a "wood kitchens" idea book which includes many mid tone kitchens.

Be sure the new flooring works with the cabinets. Put samples down and post pics if you are not sure. Many make the mistake of putting in a grayish brown floor that is a miss with warm toned cabinets - then they are forced to paint the cabinets too.

I agree about the difficulty of getting a long lasting durable paint job over previously finished cabinets - especially if you have a busy household.

Besides what others have recommended against painting cabinets, I think your's look good the way they are!

I think it's a pretty, warm wood. A black granite countertop and a stainless dishwasher could really look classic and updated.

And yes to the backsplash! With the black you could do a classic white tile or color.

Just do the flooring for now and save up for the cabinets for later.
