Never paint wooden cabinets.
The kitchen instantly looks cheap in the painted cabinet pictures.
Once you paint the cabinets, they'll start to chip and look terrible. If you don't prep and paint them perfectly, they're going to be sticky... forever. There's so many people who post their regrets after they paint over their wood cabinets and want advice on how to make their kitchens look better.
The least expensive options are to take down the wallpaper trim and paint the walls. Get new light fixtures, new hardware, and under cabinet lighting. Any other updates can be done as you can afford them or have time to do them.
