What’s the best route to take? I want to do it myself. Anyone ever tackle this project?

Several times... replacing the doors are all about getting the right hinges to make them work. The drawer fronts ...depends on the make of the drawer... Sometimes you can knock the whole front off and add new on... sometimes you can trim the front and add the new on top of the existing.

I totally refaced my existing cabinets about 4 years ago now. New face frames, end caps, new raised panel doors and new drawer fronts. Then I did the countertops and backsplash to finish it all off.
I have a woodworking shop, so did the work myself of building all the components. I used cypress and finished them in a natural oil base poly.
The previous owner was also a cabinetmaker who worked for a large department store building all their display cabinets.
The original face frames, doors and drawer fronts were real dated so I replaced them but the carcasses were so well built I could not tear them out. All the components used in the carcass construction was 3/4 inch plywood with all shelves covered in white Formica that makes for easy cleanup.
