    Glazing offers an 'old world' charm that is quite traditional looking. Without a glaze, you can achieve a crisper contrast to the floors. The choice is yours. If you are a traditionalist, or like a muted white, the glaze can be very nice to pull in the darker floors.

    If you like a strong contrast, then the whiter the better.

    I agree with everything Cancork Floor said. I will add, to think about the style not only of the kitchen but the style of the other rooms. If they are more clean line, transitional, stay with white. If the feel of the house is more traditional, adding glaze is keeping with the style of the rest of the house. Also know you can go very light on the glaze and consider having just the detailed, trim or recessed areas lightly glazed. My last comment, if you chose traditional handles, pulls, etc. then a little glaze might be nice. I had a faux finisher come into one of my projects and put a little glaze in/on the detail areas. Hope that helps!

    Whenever considering an upgrade in a home project, I remember the advice my cousin once gave me. If in 5 years you wont remember that it was upgraded and look at it every day and still love it, don't do it.
    I agree with the other posters, it all depends on the style you are going for. Glazed cabinets are very traditional and can be rustic. For a cleaner, more modern or transitional look the more drastic contrast of cabinets and floor might be the better option.
