I have a more modern looking kitchen. I decided to use it again this year. It has very high ceilings and I think it will be a cool effect. The problem is the cabinets are just too new looking and so are the counter tops. I have used black tarps to cover it in the past but I realized that it looks very bad . Anyone have any suggestions on ways to make it look less "new"?

An idea might be to cover the cabinets with 1 inch styrofoam sheeting - model them to look like old labratory cabinets - or really with styrofoam you can make them to look anyway you want.

What is the theme for the room? Maybe that would help spur ideas?

Velcro tape them in place

I don't know what effect you are looking for but can you hang or attach with velcro... like curtain and drapey fabrics,

You could tape stuff to the cabinets too; like false windows with beasts behind them or witch bottles printed on papers the size of the cabinet door - again depending on your theme.
