Ok i know this might seem like a really dunmb ? but i do need help as i have never done any sort of house project before.

The cabinets in my bathroom are painted white (Plain with no gloss or other finish) and i want to change it to the hard wood finish to match the toilet seat. Do i just go and get the paint and paint directly over it or do i have to replace the whole thing.

Would it save me any money if had the house prepped for the contractor? Having cabinets, appliances, carpet, flooring removed or Am I better off letting contractor handle all the demo himself? (I have not received a contract from builder yet)

The tile is on the floor and on half of the walls and on the shower…the tile is pink with white swirls in it. I am replacing the cabinets and coutertops and I don’t now what color to paint the walls. The pink is a real pink it is not light pink or dark just a standard pink.
I want a modernized look

wants to replace old cabinets, install marble counter toff, install recess lighting, and remodel the bathrooms.
