If you do decide to keep the stained cabinets, you might try cleaning them with Murphy's oil soa[ and then restoring the shine with Liquid gold. It leaves them with a nice luster.Roisinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13351402751154671705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652679920265688489.post-7262596830691770552012-09-17T13:25:57.472-07:002012-09-17T13:25:57.472-07:00I say go for the paint.

Dark cabinets show just as much as lighter cabinets.I was always wiping finger prints everyday use marks off.I then decided I should have what I really wanted.I asked my husband if I could paint them.He was not happy about it at first but he let me do it.Now he is happy with it.I still may do a glaze them eventually.Right now I like the "White look".I used chalk paint because I thought it would be easier.But when it comes to painting cabinets nothing is easy.Take your time doing it.I started mine last spring.And this week I will finally finish when I paint my desk in my kitchen.One thing I wish I did not go for a "White" look I should have used old white.I love the color.And so far no problems (other than the island) with marks.But down the road I am not sure.Time will tell if my white will hold up to a antique white.Although if you glaze them that will be perfect.I did that look with my dining room table and I LOVE it!<br />xx<br />AnneAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09188350801843939928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652679920265688489.post-90974929059829439902012-09-16T08:39:24.338-07:002012-09-16T08:39:24.338-07:00Paint, paint, paint!
