I agree with K Laurence. I'd start with the lighting and wall colour and then reassess. Maybe just painting the island and changing its countertop would work as well.

I think if you paint the cabs white and put in a white backsplash, your floor will keep you from getting the look you probably want, which I assume is a crisp black and white look. I’d seriously consider changing the floor, changing the backsplash, painting the walls, changing the pendants and not painting the cabs.

Oh you guys are great!!! Thanks so much for your great suggestions. Sam, the cabinet color would be a creamy off-white. K Laurence the cabinets are in great shape and they are stained. Now I'm stuck...

Yes, I agree...do not paint your cabinets; they are beautiful. First steps: improve lighting; use a professional to help you, Change wall color, too. Your window treatment is not helping either. Can you leave the window bare? Add artwork with color! not black and white words!

Not a Pro.

Love your cabinets. Change out wall color, lighting and cabinet hardware. After all that is done, if you feel you need to change out the granite, then do so.

Agree with other comments to not paint cabinets, etc. Reduce number of items on counters.

Agree with others - paint the wall! That color does not go at all with the combo of your cabs and floor.
