Posting a picture of your kitchen would help!

Thanks. I will try again, it didn't work first try.

Here are photos of my kitchen. Had trouble adding to above.

The counters are more problematic with being dark than your gorgeous cabinets. You need better lighting. I wouldn’t paint those! Added lighting, light counters, new backsplash, and a lighter wall color, and it will feel like a whole new space.

Nice ideas to consider. Cupboards under the sink and some drawers have very worn finish. Can they be refinished and match the rest? Have not investigated where to go to have that done. What kind of professionals can do that well? Thanks.

Counters are a bit dated and not the best match for that warm wood, but your cabs are 100% on trend and gorgeous. Can we see an up-close of damage? Touch up with a finish pen — or, worst case, Howard’s Restore-A-Finish — might be all that’s needed. It doesn’t look as if you have any tiled backsplash, just drywall? Not sure. I would update counters to something lighter — quartz or maybe granite — and tile with something reflective. Brighten paint. Update lighting. Cabinets look rich and gorgeous, IMHO, Good luck,

Yes, damage is limited to just a few areas, worst being doors and such under sink area. No backsplash just wall painted the Navajo white. Would consider backsplash and replacing counter instead of cupboard redo. Do you think change blue accent wall to the navajo white?

Since the cabinets obviously need to be refinished anyway, personally I would have them painted - but then, I am not a fan of the existing color. I would go with a light blue, green, or maybe grey - something that works with your countertops (unless you choose to replace those). Change the hardware and add a tile backsplash (something simple and light so it doesn't fight with your granite), and paint walls/ceiling.

Another great option! Appreciate these ideas. Much to think about.
