I posted in the general paint forum but my post disappeared.....
Anyway, take a look at the pic and throw some suggestions at me, please!!.
I have removed the wallpaper and I am in the process of repairing/preparing the walls for paint.
This is what I want to do for now(limited budget):
-get new countertops installed(what color??)
-paint the walls (Flourishing #CL 2923M from General Paint,???)
-get new flooring installed
I could paint the cabinets but as they are the same color as my appliances (and I don't want to buy new appliances yet) I am kinda stuck with the color they are for now.
When at least one appliance bites the big one I will replace all of them and then get new door and drawer fronts for the cabinets.
I am open to suggestions, including the color for the walls as I have no clue about colors and such.

I agree with shanmarsh999 I furnished an entire open concept kitchen on a lucrative full home renovation of a 3 story mansion. You can create a cadillac kitchen without the cadillac price. Check it out here: http://aryze.ca/the-uplands/. With the exception of the central Island all of the cabinets and drawers were Ikea.
I wouldn't say to replace the cabinet , you can paint the cabinet according to the your whole kitchen colour theme.
Ikea baby
our benches were custom made and cost more than the fit out- will look it up for you but the design software is handy to download and play with to get an idea of layout and price. They are just as good, if not better IMO than other flat pack companies.... I love soft close for free! One company charged something ridiculous per drawer. Also if you prefer a place to do it, Yarra valley kitchens on Canterbury rd Kilsyth are really well
Priced but we didn't want to wait 10 weeks!!!
I agree with Chalmers suggestion replacement of cabinet will provide new look to that place and flow new energy in the house.
Always go for the professionals to renovate your kitchen who can give your kitchen a new and fresh look.
Having your cabinets refaced would add more value to the kitchen.
Wow, hello 1980. My suggestion would be to replace the cabinets if you can. Painting them won't help that much, and you'll be much more happy with a newer design. You could try Ikea cabinets if you're on a budget. There are other solutions out there as well, like ReUSE.
Hi, did you ever paint those cabinets? I have the same ones and want to do 'something' with them. I'd love to get some ideas and pictures of what it looks like re-done! Thanks so much
Why not try painting your cabinet with dark green and your wall with yellow or you can do it vice versa? Since this two colors compliment each other. I read from an article that the best color for the kitchen and dining area are green and yellow, for it brings freshness in the eyes so it boost the appetite.
Something simple to tackle is to paint out the wood trim on the cabinets. If you want to step them up a notch, I would add trim to the cabinet fronts and paint it the same as the rest it would be a dramatic change and not hard to do....or.....you could paint them whatever colour you want. I know you are keeping the appliances in mind.
As for counter top, I would wait until you decide what you are going to do with the cabinets. Plan it out first before you make a major purchase.
Your thread didn't disappear, it was just moved to a more active forum so you'd get more feedback :)
