Back in the eighties we bought a repo house that had kitchen cabinets that had actually darkened over time. We took them down, stripped them and restained them with a natural lighter color and polyurethaned them and it totally made them so beautiful compared to what they were. It brought back the wood grain that you couldn't see because they were so dark. We did them over time, a couple each weekend. It was a long haul, but so worth it! By the time we repainted, recarpeted, and redid the basement family room walls we added forty thousand to the value of the price of the house when we sold it a few years later. The only problem was the homes in the neighborhood were valued much lower than the price we could have asked. The only things we didn't do ourselves was put in the carpet and spray the family room ceiling we replaced(it had been ripped out before we moved in).
