Quite honestly, your cabinets are beautiful, and since wood cabinets are now back in style, and are easy to maintain, and you dont have to worry about paint chipping, or scratching etc, I would most certainly keep the cabinets just the way they are, and then go for a very light green on the walls. Make sure the light green paint, goes well with your greenish counters. Stay away from wall colors, that do not compliment the cabinets, like anything with a yellow tone to it.

Unless you’re prepared to spend thousands for a professional painting of the cabinets leave them alone. Nothing looks worse than a less than professional paint job on cabinets. I know, some people say they can do it but it’s not for the faint of heart. Might want to add hardware.

k Laurence, I agree. A bad paint job is not good. I do plan to hire a professional for the cabinets. That is why I'm so determined to get the color right the first time. I'm just not in a place right now to completely gut my kitchen but can make minor changes. The cabinets aren't terrible but the orange does not go with my decor and Im not a fan of the look. I may have to play it safe and go with white since its classic and timeless and because If the green doesnt look right, I would have to have them repainted all over again. Thanks for your suggestions :)

I think that Jasper is going to read almost black, it's so dark in the swatch. If you do go with white on your cabinets, cat-ky's light green for the walls suggestion sounds good. A pro painter is going to cost a fair amount though, you might be better off with Ikea cabs, they'd likely run a similar amount.

The oak is great as is. It just needs pulls.

Here is how I would expect a pro to spray paint kitchen cabinets. An amateur job should follow the same path. A brush painted job would differ slightly in that you wouldn't hang the doors to paint. You'd place them on a work table or easel instead. It's time intensive work, and should take 7-14 days to accomplish completely and cost between 7K-9K depending on kitchen size and amount of detail in cabinets.

Remove doors and drawer fronts.

Remove hinges and hardware.

Clean with TSP (tri-sodium phosphate)

Rinse and let dry.

Scrape any loose finish.

Fill any damaged spots or hardware holes that won't be reused.

Sand fill smooth.

Scuff sand the rest.

Tack off dust.

Hang in dust free paint booth with wires through hardware points.

Tack off dust again.

Spray with shellac based primer.

Scuff sand again.

Tack off dust.

Spray with second coat of primer.

Spray with first finish coat of a polyurethane enamel Or conversion varnish.

Spray with second coat.

If glazing is to occur, that is next.

Spray with clear over glaze

Add more molding or decorative details to boxes, filling nail holes and sanding smooth.

Repeat prep process with face frames and exposed cabinet sides using plastic to create a spray booth on site. If interiors are to be done, they are done before face frames and sides. Interiors are difficult, and add both time and expense to the job. Most interiors are laminate and don't accept paint well.

Allow everything to fully cure. That's 7-14 days.

Clean hinges and hardware and clear coat if you're keeping the old hardware.

Install new (or old) hinges and hardware.

Re-install doors and drawers and adjust for proper clearances.

If you are receiving or doing a job without this amount of effort, then you are not getting a quality job.
