To repaint or not to repaint kitchen cabinets???




Here's the kicker--the appliances are bisque, and we are not in a position to replace them for a while. Boooooo!
Do I repaint the cabinets? I'd really like to lighten them up to go with the rest of the decor, but I have NO idea what color. Do I strip the paint and restain instead?
We are also kicking around the idea of selling our home on the next year, so I don't want to do anything too crazy.
Any suggestions? Help!!!
