The Mister and I have met with some kitchen cabinet people. We’re getting serious about updating our cabinets. However, I’m stuck. The kitchen cabinets in my kitchen inspiration photos are painted. Yet, I feel we should have “wood” cabinets for future resale. I have this feeling that wood cabinets say, “Look at me! I’m shiny and new!” more so than painted cabinets. However, we have a small kitchen and I’m fearful that wood cabinets will make it feel dark and we prefer dark wood. Decisions…decisions…
This is hard. Let’s take a break and look at some of my favorite spaces in the “Kitchen” inspiration folder.

Now, do you think wood or painted is better? Help a girl out.
