Kitchen Cabinet Paint Color Advice

Question: Are they real cedar wood or just simulated to look like cedar? If they are real cedar, painting them may be a problem as the oils in the wood might make the paint fail to adhere.

Perhaps new pulls on the cabinets might help. You could match them to the walls, counter top, and/or floor. If you are handy, you could make new doors yourself that would allow any of the cedar that is showing to be an accent color. But new pulls and new hinges, if the hinges are the type that show, will help. Good luck.

Off-white would also work well if your kitchen is too dark.

How about a bluish gray? Not too dark and not too light.
