[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The layout is functional and we would also replace backsplash and all lighting. The cost savings of new cabinets (vs the old) would nearly pay for our master bath…[/quote] Doubtful. Your master bath is going to cost a lot more than you imagine right now. And any paint job (even offsite) won't be durable for 7+years. If you're literally re-doing everything else, get new cabinets too. We did a reno and addition last year and my approach was to be frugal whereever possible, but to make sure that we did things right. Spending all that money (new counters, appliances, backsplash) on a kitchen and keeping 30 year old cabinets is a dumb way to economize. It's not just style - it's the hinges and drawer slides and your old cabinets probably don't include many drawers, which are better for storage and ergonomics.[/quote]
