For refinishing -
Stripper - $10 - Probably citrus based will fine - no odor
Scraper - $5
Steel Wool - $5
Grain filler - $25 - but you'll have enough for 100 cabinets
Burlap - $2 at any store that sells sewing cloth
Tack cloth - $5
Toner - $8
Clear - $8

If you replace the trim, it might need to be coated with sanding sealer before you try to color it.
sanding sealer $10

Woodworking stuff
The trim?
hobby sized miter box - about $5
saw - $10
glue - $5 (I like Elmers wood glue)

You're probably looking at around $100 or more. I didn't bother to add it all up.
