[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We bought a home with a really nice large and well laid out kitchen that I love. The kitchen has beautiful natural cherry cabinetry with a simple shaker style.  While they look beautiful, they don’t really go with the rest of our design aesthetic which is more modern, cooler toned palette.  I love wood but more of a walnut color and the natural cherry (while thankfully not that horrible red cherry) is still quite orange-ey.  The Pioneer Woman kitchen is a good comparable.

What would you do to make the kitchen look more modern and less prairie without replacing the cabinetry?  I’m leaning towards having them professionally painted in a low sheen paint two toned with black lowers and white uppers, modern hardware, update the backsplash and counters some kind of white stone.

Or should I leave them natural cherry and just redo the countertop, backsplash and hardware to be more contemporary? But I don’t know what color palette to do if I go this route.  It does pain me to have such pretty wood painted.
