Hello. Could you post a picture? Knowing what you’re dealing with could offer more information. Are your cabinets wood or laminate? Do they just need a cleaning or refurbish?
If natural wood, give them a good cleaning and then Orange Glo It cleans and polishes. If you are looking to change the whole appearance, then consider painting. Or you can go another step further and put on wood transfers to fancy thing up. Take a look here:
If you don't like the color of them, I would paint them a fresh coat of white paint to lighten up your kitchen and the overall look of them. You could also get new hardware. There is a lot of posts on Hometalk for refinishing kitchen cabinets.
For example if your cabinets or wood tone polyshades might be the product for your refresher needs.
Here’s a link to look over the content and see if it’s a product that will meet your needs. It can be applied over existing existing poly finishes without any stripping or sanding. I find reviews and Q&A’s can often direct me towards the correct purchase. Hope this helps.
