The whole kitchen's being re-done and moved around, and since we're having wooden worktops the units really could do with being a lighter colour - probably white or off white.
The existing units have solid oak doors with what looks like a clear matt lacquer on them. The carcasses are mainly fine, though a couple may need replacing as they are a bit ropey where the door hinges attach.
In a world of unlimited funds I'd waltz into somewhere like Howdens and get them to draw up a nice plan and we'd shell out a couple of thousand on brand new units, but I resent paying that when we've already got perfectly good ones that could be painted.
DH is sceptical that it will look okay and that I will get around to doing it but it can't be that hard, surely? Would water based gloss work?
Any tips gratefully appreciated
