geniusofevil, I am going to post pictures of our recently repainted kitchen. I didn't have a lot of before shots to compare with the after shots, but there are a couple. We repainted the dark wood cabinets because we were sick of them as well as the pale yellow walls (yuck). Now, of course, the counters and floor and old back splash look tawdry in comparison, but all things in their time. Once you start doing upgrades, it's endless. We're going to put fake slate on the floor...sometime. Although this vacation would have been an ideal time, I was just too exhausted.
Here's what the old cabinets looked like.
New cabinets and paint. The bird still looks the same.
Old corner near laundry, with adorable kitty getting loaded with catnip.
The updated version. The kitty is still adorable and frequently loaded.
New curtains!
And here's the side of the kitchen facing towards the front hall and the door to my section of the house. Notice the track lighting? We hates them we do with a frothing hateness (80s remodel) but those are going to cost a bundle to change so we've decided we have to live with them.

The curtains, the cat, the paint -- super cute! Nice job.
