[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If yes, did you do it yourself or professionally? Factory finish spray paint or foam rollers? How is it holding up? Any peeling paint? Cost?

If you did yourself, how much time and effort and was it worth it to DIY?

I love the smooth look of maple and am afraid that painting it would ruin them. Any way to update the kitchen to look modern by keeping them as is with their saddle stain? We have redone the floors to havana brown from mirage.[/quote]

I haven’t done this, but I totally would if I were you, because it makes the home look dated.  I’m going to repaint my wood kitchen cabinets too, although they are already painted so I don’t know what type wood they are.  I am having a professional strip and paint them with their spray.  We had the same contractors do the french doors a couple years ago and it looks ok.  It did bubble up on the outside a tiny bit, mainly in spots that weren’t stripped correctly.  The contractors came back to redo those sections and it’s better.  I wouldn’t do this by myself, because I worry that it won’t look professional, because I don’t have the tools or the know-how to strip the paint.  Plus these guys do this all the time and I can hold them accountable.  I think we paid $5000 for the French doors - we have 5 sets of double doors all along the back of the house and they have window panes, so the job was a bit complicated.  I expect the kitchen to cost about the same.[/quote]
