What we need to do.......

I've often heard that unfinished everything was cheaper. I didn't realize it would amount to that much. Are we talking hundreds or thousands?

My kitchen cabinets were very old and handmade, but in good shape. Someone painted them yellow, which wasn't my color. There was an insert in the center of the cabinets, I went to Lowe's and found the raised wallpaper, in white (it has the puddy look to it) and wallpapered the center inserts, painted white enamel around the outside edges sealing the wallpaper and painted the borders on the cabinets. They look great, and hold up, and clean easily!
It worked for me

I don't know what condition your cabinets are in, but you may be able to get by with sanding and repainting or restaining.

Have you tried formsby refinisher? This is not a stripper but takes off the old varnish and you can restain with a similar color and finish. You can even paint it white first and then paint it in whatever color you wish.
