I rent, so I don't want to paint these cabinets even though I have the ok. Its just too much because the molding throught the whole place is the same wood also.
I put fabric in the doors of one set of cabinets because it had tacky ugly glass.
Should I do that to all the doors or would that be too much. Also, I have painted the hardware white because they were gold.
Just would like some ideas on what I could do with the cabinets and island without painting it all...
Thanks!

That is tough. I can only think of painting them all white. I would not cover the bottom doors with the material. The jars on the island are very interesting. Where did you get those? I love them!!

If I paint them all white, wouldn't it not look right with the wood trim?

Painting them white and having the wood trim would look great , Go to Pinterest and get some ideas, there they should have a few cabinets that have been painted and with trim left wood so you can see what it might look like.

I rent too, and I wouldn't paint someone else's house. I personally like the fabric you put up. I would put that on all the doors to just remove some of the overwhelming wood look. In a previous house, I did something similar, but I put up vinyl sticky tiles instead that were NOT stuck to the cabinets, but instead hung up with Command Velcro picture hanging strips for easy removal when I left. That could also be an option for you if you'd like.

Forget painting the cabinets. Paint the walls,choose a happy bright color,add a few throw rugs to complete.

Here's my 2 cents...If you don't want to paint all of the cabinets you can just paint the cabinet doors white & leave the rest wood...I'd get ceiling tiles w/ a interesting pattern...I'd paint, crackle & distress them then add them to the inserts. I would do the same to the flat parts in the island.

lightly sand bases and layer paint shades over top each other,paint darker shade first theis lighter then you can distress them,

Haven't put on hardware yet, but mostly done!

Since your countertops are gray, I would do a gray on the lowers and an off-white on the uppers. Or go with all gray. Get new hardware. The ones you painted are wayyyyy dated. Get some stainless steel. You can find cheap ones in a package at HD or Lowes. Or look on Craigslist. People are always selling leftovers or changing decor. Are those real wood cabinets?? they look like a laminate type material. What are you painting them with?? I was going to suggest you paint with chalk paint. Much easier and no prep.
