omg, from your picture these appear to be the exact same cabinets I painted in my victorian house. They are not expensive and my designer told me not to hesitate. I painted a pale green to make my place look more vintage but at the same time more clean with marble cabinets and stainless and glass tile backsplash. In the end, it looked more modern and more vintage. goodluck!

@heynowtex: I may be in a house tour this year if I can finish up a few things here, so keep an eye out. I need to figure out an easy link to set up a picture page.

@LBhirise: I agree with you, it seems that the cabinets are what she truly doesn't like and anything else won't get to the root of the problem.

I understand your apprehension of painting the cabinets as I had that same situation in my house but my designer assured me that rarely are they so precious to justify that decision. We have a victorian farmhouse and we painted the dark brand new cabinets a light green (kind of a serene Martha Stewart type color) and then changed the hardware to modern chrome handles and vintage glass knobs. It changed our lives, it is so beautiful. We also put in marble counters and a glass and stainless steel backsplash. Goodluck.

Kyle really saved my family room and alcove, turning them into rooms that I now love going in to. I especially appreciate her ability to group art on the wall in a really great way. I love that I am now able to showcase the things that I love in a way that actually works. Thanks Kyle!

I agree with the first posts, stain it the similar color, I think painting it will take away from the midcentury quality. I have a very similar side table that I love!

Can you tell me where the Buddha print is from.
Thanks,

It's gorgeous, the turquoise and hot pink is fantastic and are my favorite colors. You have inspired me to take my home farther over the top!

Never creepy! I have 2. One of metal links that I've strung lights on and hang affirmations on and the other I collaged with things I love. They are art pieces for sure!

It was too kitcheny in the red with yellow formica. I'm now considering a peacock blue with some glass knobs and adding a lamp in the room that picks up on that same color.
I'll have to think about the frosted glass ideas, I just can't picture it.
