Thanks. I updated the post with a picture. Yup, mickey mouse because the previous owners were Disney lovers. The kitchen was originally painted yellow, black island cabinets, red cabinets, yellow and red island countertop and black countertop elsewhere.

I think we are going to donate them to REstore, just wanted to see if there were any other ideas before we pull everything out and start fresh.

They are so pretty. Such a bummer you don't like red. Do you have a photo from further back? I used to love Red and still have a leather sofa that is dated in the bonus room but was the star of our home for years. Red is not as popular but there are some nice kitchens out there embracing the red

Maybe mix what you have with some new white cabinets ?

If the layout is good, have you considered refacing or painting the face frames and buying new doors? The red interiors would be much more interesting in a white or gray kitchen. My previous kitchen had white cabinets with a brick red interior and it wasn't really anything I noticed.
Bertch are really nice cabinets and I would love those in a laundry room, workshop or garage space so definitely donate them if you decide to replace

Isn't there any way you could work with the wall paint color, the backsplash, the door pulls, and the countertops to make these work out? I think some kitchens with red cabinets can be stunning if they are pulled together properly.

All good suggestions. You've all gotten us thinking about saving them in the kitchen. We are moving in a year or so, so I really don't want to change them out if they're not offensive to a potential new buyer. We're going to look at cleaning them up, replacing the countertops, adding a backsplash etc.

What do you think of grey walls, red cabinets on main kitchen, black cabinets on island, stainless appliances, white/grey/black quartz countertops?

The wheels are spinning..

show the entire space. there may be an area you can actually leave the red intact....then other areas or larger area make a change without too much stress on budget and so on. depends on your zones. NO GRAY. maybe very pale blue walls/some butcher block mixed in w new counters if you want. ONE YEAR goes quickly......do the counters demand a change? maybe things like new faucet/hardware/light fixture/ and work with some red to remain / some to transform [thinking white-easy]

THANKS EVERYONE!

I'm back with updated pictures, well more pictures. Ignore the MESS. Cabinets are red in most of the kitchen. The island cabinets are black. The countertop on the main kitchen and the desk area is "formica???" black with a stainless steel edging strip which is screwed into the countertop. The island countertop is some sort of poured solid plastic like you would find at McDonald's !

We're selling the house in a year. Do we spend $25k to redo the entire kitchen in IKEA cabinets, quartz countertops and mid-high end appliances OR do we keep these red cabinets, change out the handles and just redo all countertops to white quartz for much less $

Anyone have thoughts?
