Design Dilemma #3 Kitchen Nightmare

From Jen:

Hi, I need some ideas to update my kitchen. New cabinetry is out of the question, so what can I do with my existing cabinets to make my kitchen look new?

Answer: Jen, I would suggest a good coat of paint, in a fresh color. Also, removing the doors and displaying some of your nicer items makes it look more "high end". Additionally, you can cut out the center of the cabinet doors, and replace with glass, definitely a more updated look! When you send in your design dilemmas, please send photos! I'd love to see some before and after pics as well, sweetie!
