are they made of wood or mdf if so. they can be painted

Hi Magic M new kitchens have more drawers than doors. They also have soft closers on doors and drawers, as well as full extension runners on the drawers. Your kitchen is therefore immediately showing its age because it clearly has more doors and is probably missing the other elements I mentioned that are considered standard in today's functional kitchen. So it really comes down to your budget. If you have the budget I would replace the whole kitchen with cabinets (more drawers than doors) with a shaker style profile. Custom cabinets to the ceiling. Manmade stone such as Caesarstone benchtops. You could think about the same stone on the splashback as subway tiles are on their way out. If your budget doesn't run to a new kitchen then the Annie Sloan chalk paint as suggested is a good option on both the existing cabinets and the new add on ones. Any of your suggested colours in muted tones would work.

Lots of great options here, otherwise you could also use large round wall hooks.. http://www.auburnwoodturning.com.au/door-handles

still think you are best talking to a cabinet maker , kitchen place that use "wood wood" to make pantry doors etc, you can also buy this product along with a lot of other building materials at Bunnings which builders go to for, same quality as else where just sometimes a bit cheaper because of the volume. We used this for holiday villas & 15yrs later still perfect
