jbluc Definitely paint them cream! I think it will brighten the look of the kitchen, and go well with your beautiful new floors. Also, just a thought..... Between looking at the color of your granite, and lighting (which on my monitor looks like an oil rubbed bronze color)? I would consider changing your cabinet hardware to oil rubbed bronze also. It will look gorgeous against the new cabinet color!

ljstohs If your going to paint your cabinets hire a professional.

kate718 I love the creamy white idea. Go for it!

fitzie4321 will definitely hire a professional...are kitchens typically semi-gloss?

dawnmarilynn Yes, I agree; cream would look great!! You have a good eye for this!

jbluc You need a finish that you can clean easily. I've used a glaze over cabinets and that worked well, but ask your painter what the best finish would be. I think eggshell or semi-gloss would definitely work well.

mandylou33 White, white, white! Match the beadboard on the back of the raised counter. Satin finish. Gloss shows every imperfection / fingerprint.

chickinvic I like the current color, but I think cream would work too. I wouldn't go white.

epatjn I wouldn't Paint them. They are too new.

Lori_Tartaglia Volpatti With your counter tops and floor I think that cream cabinets and dark hardware would look really nice.

Kj Gemmill Your kitchen is so pretty as is I don't know why you want to paint the cabinets. But as they say, life's too short to live with stuff you don't love. Have you read the pros and cons on this thread? http://www.houzz.com/discussions/200954. It's a very long discussion that includes a lot of things to think about when you paint cabinets. Hopefully it will help you.

By the way, do you need that large rug in your kitchen? I think you will see more contrast between your current cabinets and your new floor if you ditch the rug. Maybe some smaller ones in front of the sink and fridge. That's what we did. I didn't spend tons of money for my beautiful wood floor just to hide it with a rug ;) If you try that you may decide you like your cabinets after all and that will save you a bit of money too!

mamachers I love your kitchen. Keep it as it is.

nellie17 We struggled with this issue. Our wood floor is lighter than yours and our counter tops are black granite. Our cabinets were an out dated maple finish.
White was too stark, so we chose Muralo Colonial Cream with a very subtle tan glaze. They turned out beautiful! We hired a professional painter to do this as well. We also added new hardward in dark bronze.
Another thing to think about is this: We ordered 2 cabinet doors with etched glass fronts to add a nice contrast to all of the wood going on. What a difference!
Good luck!

nellie17 Me again! I think we have a similar backsplash tile. The cream cabinets would look very pretty with this as well.

Chameleon Power I like the cabinets as they are. Perhaps as other folks have suggested on this page you could create a very colorful backsplash to punch things up a bit. If you would like, you can design your own backsplash using a free online tool at http://crossville.chameleonpower.com/backsplashbuilder/

Alina Druga Interiors I like the cabinets as they are, but I think that a creamy white would look fresher, so yes, I would paint them. But definitely agree with the comment made previously to loose the rug, it just doesn't work. Good luck!

juliefitz smaller rug? just in front of the sink maybe? would you stay neutral or throw in a pop of color?

DIAspoton have the cabinets painted a creamy white with a pewter or walnut glaze. look at crystal cabinets for finish ideas. install hidden under cabinet lighting.i agree with nellie on the glass fronts.
putting a tile cap along the edge between the cabinet and sink would be a nice finishing detail.
lose the rug.
