It depends on the doors - are they flat? Raised panel? Do they have a pattern routed into them? If they have a pattern in them, you can fill with spackle and sand smooth. Then add 1x2's around the edge to make a Shaker-style frame. Paint the cabinets in whatever pretty color you choose.

  Thank you, they are flat, very old solid wood, I will do the 1 X 2's and that should be a great fix. Good winter project!

Amy thing you want from painting to laminate to staining. It all depends on the decor. Look on Pintrest.com for diy's on how to do. Beautiful projects there. Also easy.
