i painted my vintage 50’s wood vaneer things white with new hardware…
1000% better.
that, a new floor, new counter top, sink, faucet, and a home made bar counter thing…
i think the total investment was ~less than 2k.
lesson: never do subfloors w/o pnumatic nailer 
my friend does custom counter tops, but that aint cabinets.
he does the laminate ones as he makes them at work.
so, my post is useless
