I keep coming back to the painted cabinet look and I just saw the Kemper and Kraftmaid painted lines. Anyone with Kraftmaid painted cabinets out there who can share how it's holding up and what it actually looks like?

Premiere is Kraftmaid but they are not going to tell you (I tried for stain). What you can do is see if you HD has a sample door and take that to the paint section and see if they can do a color match.

I looked at all of your helpful suggestions on the largest paint chips each store had available. Here's what I tried out with painted samples and how they looked with my marble: *White Dove--sickly yellow-green undertone *Gardenia--very pretty but had a slight peachy undertone *Mascarpone--too yellow *SW Snowbound--very close but had a slight pink undertone *a few of my own formula concoctions *color match to the Kraftmaid white cabinet sample door I haven't returned yet And then I finally tried Simply White. Winner!! It's perfect. Chantilly Lace was a very simple white, but too stark. Simply White is also a simple white and has a touch of yellow, but not enough to turn it yellow like Mascarpone. It's just warm enough not to look sterile, but not so warm it's yellow. And now I will use Simply White for all the trim in the main part of the house since every room is basically open to each other, and the trim on the cabs will run around the entire ceiling. Thank you everyone! Fori, Drjoann, Pps7--loved seeing your rooms again. (Fori, tell me again why you left that great space! ;))

Teehee1984, you ask a very good question I can't recall coming across previously on any GW forum. Let me begin by offering a disclaimer that there are others on the forum whose decorating expertise far surpasses mine so they may have a better answer. I installed Kraftmaid Biscotti with Cocoa Glaze cabinets in my kitchen, formal dining room, master bath and for a custom fireplace mantle in the family room 2 1/2 yrs ago. Matching cabinets for the family room were ordered less than a week ago to complete the project. In my small patio home, the kitchen, breakfast and family room are all one open area. As in your home, all woodwork is painted white. My walls are painted a soft gold so the Biscotti transitions nicely into the gold. I resolved the color differential between the cream and the white in two ways: 1. Use of a lot of white accessories -- For example, in my glass cabinet in the kitchen only white china and two white bird figurines are displayed. For the family room cabinets I've collected various tropical bird figurines, all in stark white. There will also be a few cream pieces since this is a larger display area. 2. Trying to bring both colors completely around each room so that there is consistent flow. Photos could certainly show this better than words, but I haven't tried to post photos on GW yet and don't have time to try to learn at the moment as am busy with work. The white woodwork obviously goes entirely around each room. An example of purposefully doing this with the Biscotti is installing a 7" deep shelf, near the ceiling, along two adjacent walls in the breakfast room. I'll include a few white accessories on those shelves among other items. My new cabinet installation will begin in about a month and may take as long as 3 weeks since the cabinet counters have to be templated after the bases are installed. I could work on posting the photos for you at that time. How soon will your kitchen remodel begin? By the way, I ordered a few KM cabinets in Canvas for a bedroom as part of this upcoming remodel. It's a lovely color but still does not quite match the woodwork in my house either. Anyway, hope all of this rambling helps. Let me finish by saying that your new kitchen will be so beautiful that the difference from the woodwork will most likely be only a small blip on your radar since both colors will be in the white category.
