Comments (2)Not quite understanding... It sounds like you have one plummie. Are you looking to trade it? And for tips, is it a cutting, or is it rooted? Lauri...See MoreCoordinating counters with mid-range cab finishes
Comments (20)We are using quarter-sawn oak in a medium finish with white oak floors with a natural finish and a light counter. That River White is great! I also am drawn to the quartzites that look like marble (we could never maintain it in our busy family). Very much like that gorgeous bathroom vanity. Carol - what flooring is under that cardboard? Do post pics! These cabs are lyptus ($$) but this granite is pretty (Venetian gold?)

Comments (37)Actually, that is precisely what I struggle with when it comes to stained cabinets. I like painted cabinets, but I also really like really simple inset wood cabinets like these: I might even like those more than painted cabinets. However, I am having trouble finding a kitchen floor that I like better than hardwood floors, and I really do not like it when the cabinets and floor are nearly the same color. I've yet to find an inspiration photo of a kitchen with both hardwood floors and stained wood cabinets that I like -- I always seem to want more contrast between the floor and the cabinets. For instance, I love this kitchen: You'll notice it doesn't have a hardwood floor. I love the look of that tile floor with the wood cabinets, but in practice, I cook barefoot, and tile is cold and unforgiving on the joints. Plus white tile always looks dirty and the grout is a pain to clean. I've given some thought to a marmoleum floor, which might be a way around it, but I've never spent any time in a kitchen with one and am not sure I'd like it. I haven't seen any with a pattern that would hide dirt/grime that didn't look a bit hospital-ish. Light is also a concern with stained cabinets. I have never had a kitchen with an abundance of windows, and light is SUPER important to me. I'd only deploy stained cabinets if I also had a wall of windows and almost no uppers, so natural light and airiness are basically a given no matter what cabinet finish I choose....See Moreanyone use oak cabinets anymore? What colour would you stain/paint it?
Comments (1)like the grain and hardness, harder than maple. i do not like the mdf plastic look, want something more contemporary but still maintaining a classical or traditional feel...See MoreUser
