The cabinets (and appliances for that matter) are the original cabinets. The kitchen was originally sort of an 'L' shaped galley. I ripped out my laundry room (now it's just a laundry closet with doors in front of the washer dryer) for the extra space. So only the island is new (other than the aesthetics of new paint, new floor, new backsplash and countertops, etc.). It would be really, really iffy matching 12 year old cabinets, and since I had black appliances anyway (and I like the contrasting look) when I found a black island with a wood top at a furniture store, I snapped it up. As you can see from the original cabiets, I had virtually no cabinet space to begin with. :)
