According to my "woodworking" husband, particle board cannot be refinished. It can be painted or it can be re-veneered. But particle board won't tolerate chemicals. You do have the option of replacing the door-fronts only -- with new wooden doors.

I have done both. If you paint do it with oil base. I did mine 15 years ago and just touched them up last year. The problem you may run into is that they sometimes use lots of different pieces and grades of wood when making cabinets if they know they will be stained dark. You don't have to sand them I used a product that stripped the old finish off some cabinets several years ago. I only wanted to go about a shade lighter well really just get all the build up off. I had a small hallway kitchen so it didn't take me long. But be sure you do it with lots of ventilation. My recommendation would be to try the inside of a door to refinish and see how it goes. You didn't mention your counter tops I'm afraid if you paint a cream color you will end up with a lot of neutral, sort of BLAHHHH.

If they have the laminate over them all you can do is paint them.
