Does anyone have a solution to fix the look of white, laminated cabinetry. I need just a short time fix, until we can afford a kitchen makeover. Any thoughts or ideas would be so appreciated. Thank you!

If the laminate is in good shape you could paint them. If they are basic flat doors you could add some MDF trim before painting them to update them too. Sharing photos would help us help you more also.

This lady cut out an intricate design for her cabinets. You could do the same with a simplified design. The Dollar Store has wood grain contact paper. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/57350595231647426/

Well what is wrong with them. Are they dirty? You need to explain before anyone can answer.

Thank you Becky Blair & Ann Medford for your responses. When my daughter comes over I will have her take some pictures and put them on here for you to look at. Thank you again.

Buy some pretty molding at Home Depot and apply with Liquid Nails. Use a good primer made for shiny surfaces (Kilz makes a good one) then put two coats of paint on.

Not sure if it is a cosmetic issue or functional.If it is cosmetic,you could paint them with chalk paint,or maybe chalkboard paint!Should hide a multitude of issues.if it is a problem with function,you could remove some or all of the doors.If you do decide to remove the doors I would paint the inside of the cabinets or wallpaper the inside of the cabinets.OR,LINE THE BACKS and sides of the cabinets with MAPS!Another cheap fix is to staple fabric or burlap on the fronts Update the. Hardware too.Go on line they have very inexpensive handles to update the cabinets
