Any paint or stain will work. Select something you like that accents your decor.... Think one color uppers, another lowers. However, before applying the protective coating for your paint/stain, slighty sand edges and raised surfaces, that would naturally be abraided over time, with a 400 or high grit sand paper. Just enough to gigive the appearance of wearing off naturally. TThen apply the appropriate sealant to the cabinets to make them moisture resistant.
