Yes, we got rid of exposed hinges, although the exposed are probably more period-correct. Our contractor had to add some extra pieces to some cabinets to make them work. Old: New:

I too, switched from exposed to hidden in my mini-remodel of my disfunctional kitchen. Like crafterbeth, the boxes were painted after necessary repairs and re-do's and new doors and hardware put on. I really like the look or, rather the non-look of the hidden. Here's a pic of the old and the not quite finished new. Teresa Old: The New:

All the kitchens look great! @gsciencechick..What modifications were made on the cabinet doors to hide the hinges ? Endless trips to Homedepot have't helped us so far. @Mooie ...what paint did you use on the cabinets & what is the process like. The work is going on in our kitchen right now and the new countertop is coming in tomorrow. We are thinking of painting the cabinets as well. Thanks

Rohu I used Cabinet Coat tinted to BM Cloud White and I followed the directions, (mostly) in the link below. It's a little time consuming, but I didn't have a lot of cabinets to do either. My flooring is going in tomorrow and the backsplash will happen whenever my guy gets around to it. : ) Kind of a casual remodel if I ever saw one. Then just maybe my fridge can come in from the garage?? : ) Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.squidoo.com/paintingcabinets

In some spots, he had to add a small "block" to the back of the cabinet face to properly attach the hinges. That is probably the best way I can describe it. The paint we used was BM Satin Impervo Waterborne in Chantilly Lace.
