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.

Im looking to improve my bathroom at a low cost. The only struggle Im having is deciding what colour walls I should paint to match the clay brown tiles and brown basin benchtop I cant afford to change. Its very difficult to match the walls with this colour tile. Plus Id like to know what type of taps would suit the bathroom.
