Decide Whether To Repaint Or Reface The Kitchen

The cabinets are tired but sound, and you have been going round in circles between a weekend of painting and a proper refacing quote. This weighs cost, durability and time against your actual budget and gives a straight recommendation, so the decision gets made instead of postponed again.
