I am selling my condo. Should I refinish these wooden kitchen cabinets with white paint or leave them as is?
You could find a picture of the kitchen here:

I was originally thinking of refacing the cabinets but it would end up being close to $8,000. Then I started looking into refinishing. I got an estimate from a painter which was still more than I was willing to pay, and then did some research online and found it’s a relatively simple DIY project.
I think painting the cabinets white will make the tiny kitchen with no windows appear larger and brighter… but some family members are saying the wood looks nice as is and painting them will take away from their value.
No don’t paint the cabinets!!! People like wood, I don’t care what HGTV says. If you want those cabinets to look more expensive and get you more money that buy some replacement doors yourself, they are not expensive and you cn get a color close to the cabinets themselves.
