They look like they r in good shape.

But yes I can see they would look totally new n fresh if u painted them. Good luck. :)

Thank you for your feedback

Trying to vote- and it just says submitting your vote on both options.

not sure why? How would you vote ?

I originally would have voted NOT to paint, but changed my vote to YES paint, and it did go through :)

I wouldn’t. I’d change out that backsplash and countertop though. And if you’re feeling rich, the black appliances too.

I agree with the above comment - keep the cabinets, swap the rest - maybe swap the cabinet hardware for something darker? Not sure I love the dark, thin, long backsplash tile with the large, lighter, square floor tiles. I'd also consider warming up the dining room with an area rug.

I would do the crown molding treatment for the cabinet, and change out the dark appliances.

I would keep the cabinets the way they are. They look to be in excellent condition, I love black appliances though, and dislike stainless, so I would be keeping the appliances. You could definitely use some updated nicer hardware on the cabinets. The backsplash looks nice, but, I would probably replace the outdated countertops. You have a very nice kitchen, and looks well maintained and clean.

The problem you are seeing is that you have a bright room (bright cabinets, floor) with a dark backsplash and dark appliances so the darkness in the center is directing your eyes to it, sucking you in visually. The other problem is that dark colors have visual "weight" so it feels unbalanced that the floor is lighter than the backsplash.

I have decided to paint the cabinets and replace the countertop and knock down my pantry wall... here is the progress

I love it when people post what they decided and come back with pictures! Thank you! I would've voted to paint them white. ;)

Wow!! Yes please come back and post the progress.

I think I may go with this backsplash or possibly the same colors in a herringbone pattern... the new countertop will be piatra gray by caesarstone!
