So it's time to replace our kitchen cabinets. They're probably close to 50 years old and the particle board is simply falling apart. Our house is small (around 1000 square feet), so our kitchen is as well.

Suggestions or resources on where to get started? Web searching seems to find mainly:

* Ads
* Articles about *whether* to replace them
* Articles about how to do it yourself (we don't have the skills, tools, or inclination)

(Specific recommendations for Portland, OR would be particularly useful.)

Two other things I noticed in this web search:

* Many of the pages seem like they were written by either ChatGPT or a first-year college student trying to pad 2 pages of ideas into a 20-page paper.

* What's with all the open shelving? Who are these people who (a) are magically immune to dust and (b) have so much space they can spend four feet of shelving on one knickknack they got on their weekend trip to Provence?

@peterdrake About 8 years ago, my wife and I went to a local big, enormous hardware store and enquired about kitchen renovation. They handled the entire job, from design to installation. Once the construction was under way we ate take-out and the like in the living room for a month or two.

A month or two?! Wow, that must've been an awfully huge renovation.
