Today in our Cottage Makeover series we're finally making over the kitchen. If you're new to the series, we've been going through my MIL's 100 yr old home slowly making over each space as we go. So far we've tackled the dining room, living room, entryway, mudroom, bathroom and we turned the laundry room into a second bathroom. For today's kitchen makeover, we're not doing anything too crazy. I hope this makeover inspires you to make the most of what you've got.

What do you think... would you like the cabinets better painted or left AS IS? My vote is definitely painted navy!

For this particular kitchen, I vote as is. I think the cabinets look quite good still. I think painting is an excellent option for tired cabinets or brand new cabinets (purchased painted). The kitchen turned out great. The changes made a big difference! It's hard to pick one or two things, but I think painting out the red wall(s) and painting that utility closet door were key.

Your MIL’s comment that older people like the wood is correct. They value the beauty of wood, the expense, the expertise in making something that they expect to last a lifetime. They probably saved for a long time to have a quality product. Us young ones grew up with mdf and much cheaper things, which we have no qualms in changing regularly.

I don't know what you consider older. But I'm 60 years old and my first thought was aren't you going to paint the 80's cabinets. The cabinets are not a pretty wood. Plus painting the cabinets would bring out the beautiful wood color of the island. I don't know about blue or sage green. To specific for resale. I would have gone with white.

For resale purposes, I think it’s best to leave the cabinets unpainted. While I like the navy color, it is very taste specific and won’t necessarily appeal to a wide range of buyers. Also, happy that she decided to invest in the stainless steel appliances!

I’m 49 and I’ve always loved wooden cabinets. In a 100 year old house, painted cabinets do not translate well. It’s like a beautiful period house with a plastic-looking kitchen. Her cabinets are beautiful. I’m glad you left them the way they are.

In this case I vote for the wood cabinets. Paint choices are often so trendy. That sage green everyone wants now was not anyone’s choice a year ago, and it will look so dated and over-used in a few years. If the existing cabinets were dark wood in a dark kitchen I might advocate painting white or cream, but these wood cabinets are perfectly lovely for a cottage-y or boho look. You did a great job here. And OMG that new refrigerator is HUGE. It looks commercial-size to me. Wonderful. She might even be able to keep her whole soda stash in there.

Beautiful! Earlier you mentioned recommending painting a neutral color for possible resale in the future. I would say the same can be said about leaving the cabinets unpainted. If a potential buyer saw painted cabinets but wanted wood, they may be turned off thinking of the amount of effort to remove the paint or replacing cabinets. Those who prefer painted ones, would be envisioning what color they would like to add to the cabinets. Leaving them unpainted opens the door to more buyers. :D

I like how the lighter wood cabinets allow the rest of her kitchen decor to pop. The new hardware updated them and they contribute to the calming atmosphere that the wall color introduced to the room. The use of the small cabinet for the beverage storage is genius; later, if she is so inclined, maybe the cabinet can be painted the same as the wall color and the glass can be frosted. Another job well done!

Natural wood, I've always preferred that, all 7 decades of my life. Remember that wood paneling came on the scene in the 1960's, it was the poor man's alternative to real pine boards on the walls. Everyone had to have it! So it's absolutely a classic look that will never go out of style, unlike paint colors. That red wall you couldn't wait to get rid of is proof of how rapidly color goes out of style. Beautiful end result!

I’m surprised you did not paint the little white cabinet next to the refrigerator the same color as the walls. That would allow it to look like it was meant to be there and not as noticeable when you walk in and see that area. That was such a great use for the cabinet! I love repurposing!!! The kitchen looks amazing and I love all her pottery!! I would so want that out also and I am more of a minimal person when it comes to my counters. Love your videos and am so glad you are going to be continuing them. I cannot wait to see the final walk though next Sunday! ❤️❤️❤️

The painted louvre doors definitely work. I am an oldie...so I prefer to see wood for the wall cabinets. One of the problems with painting cabinets a strong, bold colour, is that it is a pain to repaint if you want to go pale again...an issue if you want a neutral colour for selling. Wood just is. It will 'go' with any colour scheme.

While it would be a pain to sand and repaint it again, if I had the money I would gut it, or if I didn’t, I’d repaint it. The layout and shape of modern kitchens are so different from 70’s kitchens, that no amount of ok condition older styles can look like it. A little more modern kitchens have cabinets up to the ceiling, a little more than that has an open space plan, and the most modern has different shaped cabinets altogether (essentially floor to ceiling closets). Of course while all this does depend on money, an outdated kitchen, while stylistically beautiful with the clean wood, can be a sign that the home is not kept up to date on repairs or renovations. Since kitchens and bathrooms sell the house, it would be a hard sell compared to a similar property with a new kitchen.

Nice job! Though the size of fridges in the US will never cease to amaze me, especially when you replaced the big one with an even bigger one. At the start of the video when you updated the knobs I thought "Oh I'm glad she didn't paint the lovely wooden cabinets but just changed the knobs" so to answer your question. Sorry, I'm totally with your mother in law. If I get the choice between a lovely wooden look or a painted one, the wooden look will always win. No, I'm not a senior or even that old, either.

I am 60 years old and those cabinets remind me of all the cheap cabinets landlord's use to put in apartments in NYC back in the 80's. All of which tenants eventually painted. I think the island is a beautiful wood finish. Painting the cabinets would have highlighted the beauty of the island.

It's all gorgeous and that island took my breath away❤️ Cottage core has its roots in English decorating and unpainted wood is a constant but so is the eclectic touch of throwing in painted wood. Maybe paint the uppers white. White kitchen cabinets are such a classic that it never goes out of style. I think a dark color would make the area look too small and to me, upper dark cabinets are depressing because they absorb all of the light. As I've gotten older, I realize I need much more light to be able to see (even with my trifocals on) 😭 yes....trifocals. This series has been a fantastic journey of Sunday's that have been so enjoyable. Thank you so much for letting us participate. Five stars!

For a cottage look - a vote to paint the cabinets in the same color as the walls - to create a clean visual line. THEN paint the bottom of the island in the darker accent color (like Hale Navy) - to ground the space. Try the garbage can at the end of the cabinets instead of the island. For storage add lined baskets (with lids) on top of the cabinets to hold any larger pieces. Perhaps add a wood screen door to the back door.

I am surprised by how many people like the natural wood even though it goes well with the island. I guess it is easier for a buyer to paint, if they choose, without sanding etc. to remove a color they don't love, BUT I bet if people saw these cabinets painted, they would prefer the new look. Maybe it is also because your MIL is an antique collector that people prefer the natural wood for her. Another great job. Did the sodas go in the fridge when the new fridge arrived? Looks like the fridge was too wide for the cabinet to remain beside it. Love all her ceramics! Can't wait for next week's episode!

I cannot believe all of your adventures. How is izzy doing with all the changes? Poor Jackson lol, just like my poor hubby when he needs to work on our own house. No sympathy especially when it's for his own parents house lol stay safe 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

This turned out so nice. I’m 51 so close to your parents’ age most likely, and being tired of painted cabinets at this point, I too prefer that they be left unpainted if the wood looks nice. And in this case, I think they look great. They definitely have a 1990s PNW vibe, which fits the location and cottage look so well. You did a great job with all of it. And thank you for painting the ceiling! A crisp white ceiling also makes such a difference in a home. 😊

I like the wood cabinets. I might consider painting the inside of the cabinets white or a light color to reflect light as this is often suggested for older adults.

I love your shirt “SPACE MAKER”! Amazing transformation! I like the wooden cabinets, it feels warm and inviting. Though I don’t like green, I love the pop of green around the kitchen feels like plants.

Great work, as usual April and Jackson. As much as we parents appreciate the help with tasks we may not realize need to be completed or are overwhelming….we love AND WANT our kids just being with us even for a few days. People call your mom and dad!

While I really like the idea of green or navy cabinets, it's definitely more trendy and less timeless. Certain kitchens and cabinets can look significantly better painted, for example if the stain had significantly yellowed or there is noticeable damage. But if there is only going to be slight improvement between painted and unpainted, then I think it's best to leave it unpainted. That's why I think its best to leave these cabinets unpainted. I think in the future, what would really complete the kitchen makeover would be upgrading the countertops to stone, maybe soapstone or quartz.

It's an entirely different house!You are tireless, incredibly talented, and gracious. I like wood, but am not against painted cabinets. Don't like metal or hard cabinets. Can't wait for your next reveal. Great job

This turned out beautiful. I am 63. I think the blue would have been nice but you mentioned possible resale. A more neutral palette is better if they want to attract buyers.

Tip for spraying. Do the first coat with the furniture upsidedown and the top with it right side up. Easier to get complete and even coverage

I like the kitchen cabinets in their natural wood but I probably would have painted the base of the island sage green. I think the kitchen looks updated and beautiful.
