I tnink white would be a huge change but when you do this please do not do a different backspash behind the stove just a nice tile baclsplash al the same and up to the bottom of the cabinets not that little 4’ piece of counter top material. Some good LED daylight bulbs for sure. Right now the space has a bit of a tuscan vibe that will go away with white so be aware of that.It might be better to go a warmer white depending on the rest of your home . Please be sure to have them done by a cabinet refinisher not a regular house painter and be prepared it is not inexpensive to have done right.

White would be beautiful and is what you love so go for it. But, my priority would be drawers for the base cabinets unless you have rollouts.

Keep in mind that repainting cabinets reduces the durability. New factory finished lacquered cabinets are the best. That said if you decide not to repaint them you could change out your counters to a white quartz with some veining. Do the back of the range in the same material and thee backsplash in a white tile. Finally paint the upper walls in white and remove all the decorations. Another option is to paint the upper cabs or just the range hood. Good luck.

You have a beautiful kitchen and turning it white could be spectacular. The style of door you have would look great painted in white. I think it would be a huge transformation. But.... I would definitely research the painting process because you don't want it to peel or chip or look worse. Maybe hire a painter who is experienced in this kind of painting so you have a great look.

I also like the idea from above to keep the backsplash all the same. I would cut out the 3 inch mini backsplash and do something simple. Are you keeping the counters?

Looking forward to seeing what you decide to do. ~boxer

The kitchen opens into an elegant farmhouse large Family room. I have battled changing but will be moving the 48 inch to a 60 inch wolf. the 45 will be removed but enlarged to fit the larger wolf. Replacing all appliances with all new and using the older for my basement restoration. I agree. I have an appointment with the original cabinet maker this week. I will be careful about painting. I too think it is Tuscany looking. Maybe new modern handles and pulls will help too. The home is a Craftsman style in the mountains so I painted the large room a linen white with stained darker vaulted ceiling. So the cabinets need to follow that tone of white Thank you all so much.. Agree or disagree.

looks like painting the green walls, changing counters to a light theme and a light backsplash would do quite a bit for the space. The counter as shown does not work well with either the floor or cabinets....but may be different in the space.I would tend to leave the cabinets intact.

I would look at the price difference to just go ahead and get new cabinets. The staggered height seems to be out of style to me. And more drawers would mean better function. A quality paint job can be quite pricey and still typically won’t match a factory quality finish. Replacing the cabinets may be a better value than having them painted.

Since you are doing a major change with the Wolf I would look into new cabinets so you can incorporate Craftman style and have drawers. Can these cabinets be reused in your basement renovation? Or sold?

The original cabinet builder could convert some or all of the lower cabinets to drawers. My DS changed all her cabinet doors to a different style, converted almost all lowers to drawers, converted a cabinet to a pull-out trash/recycling, chose 2 uppers to have glass fronts, changed hardware, added over and under cabinet lighting, and painted. For her it turned out to be about 1/2 the price of building all new cabinets of the same quality. Her cabinets were excellent quality and in great shape, so replacing them didn't make sense. If your cabinets are in bad shape or of poor quality, then replacing everything might make more sense; that depends on what quality/shape you have now. Ours were in terrible shape so we replaced everything.

The bottom doors have sliding drawer so that is easy to handle. Yes, I have gone back and forth on a new kitchen or rearrange the stove area for the wolf 60. My poor Subzero was hit by lightening mid summer. It killed it totally. Sad day but lightning was terrible this summer. So I will be putting in a new Subzero but with new appliances, a good cabinet man, and a new counter top, I will feel ok about it. I will use the granite in the basement. I plan to add on either a porch for the back view or either make it into a trophy room. So I need to spread it around so I can get all that I want. I garden a lot and have developed the back yard so it will be nice to enjoy it.

Yes, I agree about the green walls. When I purchased the house, all of the green left with a good painter. That is now all off white.

The cabinet work in I described in DS's kitchen was about 14K, not counting the painter or electrician for the other changes. Replacement was going to be about 30K. That's why she chose not to replace. You could get proposals for each direction and then decide.

In answer to your question, white is never out of style, though it may be more or less trending at times. Like you, I have always loved white kitchens. I have had them in each of my homes for more than 40 years and I still love them.

With improved lighting, creamy white paint, and a white backsplash and counter you could have a LOVELY kitchen without painting the cabinets. Wood finishes are coming back with a vengeance, thought mostly in a plainer style.

It looks like you have great cabinets. We recommend you look at the price of getting new ones before you attempt to paint. However, just painting would help. Once you look at the difference in painting vs. getting new cabinets decide what you want to do, then you can install new countertops, and a new backsplash. The end result would be great.

If you are getting all new appliances you may have to get all new cabinets anyway, so you can get whatever color you want, as well as whatever counter tops you want.

Just make sure you look at the entire slab in the yard, as well as bring home a sizeable piece to look at in your home.

Also, whatever slab(s) you select, write your name in your script on the back of every one with whatever the yard allows you to, either a china marking pencil or Sharpy, whatever won't bleed through, and take a photo of the front and back of each slab.

Write on the receipt that only the specified slabs of ABC type material with your signature on the back are to be used, and no substitutes allowed without your written permission after your in-person inspection of the substitute.

Make sure that when slabs are delivered you check your signature.

And when you remodel, don't put a sink directly opposite the stove top like you have now. People don't need to rubbing behinds.

And that satellite sink is too small for anything more than slicing lemons at a bar.

Every sink should be full size with a disposal.

Even if that sink is mean to be used for food prep, you do how long celery and green onions and corn are, don't you?

I suggest you use a kitchen designer to coordinate all the choices you have to make when you redo your kitchen.

And if you had an interior decorator or kitchen designer who told you that your kitchen is Tuscan, get a new one.

Kitchens in Italy don't look like that at all.

Unless an American moved there and specified it be built that way.
