When I decided to do it the cabinets were (and still are) in great shape. The layout is such that there was no good way to change it if I bought new cabinets so it didn't seem worth it to spend the money on new. After painting I had new granite counter tops installed.

I did the same in my home in mass about 10 years ago but with little grandkids running around they have a fair share of scratches and chips now. But no regrets, it was an inexpensive remodel compared to completely new cabinets.
I didn't do them myself, I had a buddy of mine do them. At that time, he only charged me $1200.
