16 years agomine actually have a very subtle glaze and because the cabinets aren't ornate on the face the glaze doesn't pick up too much. But it turns the overall look away from stark white. YOu can see the glazing better on the island and on the hood and far better on the doors themselves in person:

Comments (22)Melissa, Purezza repeats beautifully, WITH HEAT. If your climate is too cool, it won't repeat, but heat things up and it's off blooming like a weed. If your climate is very mild, traditional Banksiae will "repeat" its bloom as long as the weather feels like spring. Once it heats up, Bansiae stops flowering. In Pacific Palisades, two blocks from the beach, Double Yellow Banks began flowering in spring and often continued until nearly September, when the REAL heat there hit. I don't know if four blocks from the ocean will be hot enough for Purezza to repeat. I have one out back where it's HOT in a southern/western exposure on the hill and it flowers very well. The other in the walled garden in front, gets almost as many hours of sun as the one in back, but it is much cooler in the front garden and that Purezza doesn't flower nearly as much. They are from the same cuttings and both were grown into five gallon size before planting. The difference isn't in the plant, but the heat levels between the two positions.

Comments (18)Ha, ha. I can't believe this thread! I could have written some of the posts myself. DH wants cherry. I find myself drawn to white (but not glazed) and soapstone, in addition to sleek, very modern wood kitchens. I know, totally different looks! But we have a third and more important criteria: resale. If all goes well, this is a 3-year house for use, so resale is key. We're in New England, so the most popular high-ish end kitchen look is SS, granite, and cherry. We've got our SS appliances, so we're set there. I personally don't like granite unless it's honed and "quiet", but I can deal with that. Cabinets?????? I want the kitchen to be the thing that the buyer oooohs and aaaaahs over. of course you can't please everyone, but what's the best choice? I dunno. In every shelter magazine for the past year, the kitchens have been 99% white/soapstone. Does that mean that in 3-4 years the buyer here (Maine, so things trickle down fairly slowly) will go, "Oh, that's what I always wanted, just like a magazine!" ....or... will they say, "oh, white and soapstone, that's so 2009!". DH's choice: simple shaker cherry cabs, seem like they will always say, "good quality high-ish end kitchen", atleast in maine. I'm not sure the white will. Perhaps to some people, who read shelter mags, they WILL seem dated in a few years. And then there are those people who don't stay on top of trends, and would see them as REALLY old, and tied to a simple, rural life they want to escape (like 2 years ago when my daughter campaigned our city to change the zoning ordinance so she could have chickens, so many people were worried it would make the city seem backwards and white trash! They could not believe that it was actually the more educated, well-off young families that wanted chickens, now!) Sigh. I hate making these decisions. I wish we were going to be here forever so we could choose what makes us happy without these other constraints! I am jealous of those of you who can follow your heart in your kitchens!...See MoreIs a creamy cabinet with glazing passe? Should we skip the glaze
Comments (9)2 years ago we went on a kitchen tour. Saw lots of these lovely glazed cabinets. In fact those cabinets helped convince my dh that painting our dark oak cabinets would be a good idea. So we started the process of painting our cabinets ourselves. Then I began to experiment with the glazing. It just made them look dirty and I decided that I liked the look of the white alone, so we went with just white. I'm so glad now I didn't glaze them. I am tired of the glazed cabinet look, but not tired of white cabinets without the glaze. (Not just referring to my kitchen, but we just went on the kitchen tour again and were in different kitchens--didn't see too much of the glazed this go 'round, but did still see lots of the creamy white cabinets) I would be afraid that it might become the same thing as when my mother did that "antique-ing" thing on her cabinets way back in the 70's....See MoreAnyone have Kraftmaid Cabinets in Irish Cream Glaze?
Comments (10)I was also searching for a creammy color with a light glaze. I went with Dynasty alma/caramel glaze. It has enough definition to highlight the molding. I spent a lot of time searching for the perfect color, my cabinets are on order, I'm hoping my search wasn't in vain. The vanilla bean glaze was too much of a contrast for me, the Irish cream was better, but still not the look I wanted. I saw the alma/caramel color in an EXPO store. Good luck...See Moreteched

16 years agoMine are frost glazed birch. They are also distressed. Hard to appreciate in these photos. Very "creamy" in color.

16 years agoMine are not done and are dramatic. The glazing is not on the light rail, etc.... but you can see the rubbed areas.
Richard's Paint, Minwax stain, and custom glaze are all special mixes on site.

16 years agoauntimaryann-good luck, I am having the same problem and I like movement as well. I have seven samples sitting in my kitchen right now and have been to 5 yards. I am trying to stay brown/gold but I dont want it too light and I dont want gray undertones....this is not as easy as i though it would be. but the good news is I found a granite called "genesis" that I really love and I think it works perfect with the cabs. here is a pic. I am afraid of the price! I am waiting for them to call me.
