As with everything with interior design the trends are constantly changing and developing. If you were looking to use white or wood cabinets, there are three popular looks now: the first being white cabinets with glass inserts, second dark cherry finished wood cabinets (though this look is beginning to wane) or unfinished and natural looking cabinets with bamboo, maple, alder wood or something similar. Also, if you're looking to redo cupboards you may want to see how much extra it would be to conceal kitchen appliances like your dishwasher with cupboards for a nicer look. I included a few examples, let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you so much - because of our "mold" situation, this is an unexpected project that we weren't thinking about, so it is causing a lot of stress, not the fun a new kitchen should be.

Well you might as well make the best of a bad situation and get a step closer to your dream kitchen through this unforeseen renovation. Good luck!

Consider solving the 'mold' issue first before doing the renovation.
