Does anyone have oak cabinets anymore?
Comments (39)@sombreuil I guess I’m an outlaw as I just put in limestone floor in Versailles pattern on the first floor. I used to love oak and hate the orange color but now I have a huge aversion to wood kitchen as my in laws have oak everywhere. Their house is so dark that I carry a flashlight with me because I keep tripping over all the small carpets underfoot. Their cabinets were custom but the oak has gone orange. It was hellish trying to find paint to tone down the kitchen. With oak walls, ceiling beams, floors, cabinets, trims and all furniture (big and small) in dark oak, it’s very claustrophobic and oppressive to be in the house. We remodeled their house recently due to flood and they put everything back the same and added more oak in any area that did not have it before. My advice is choose what you love but use moderation in the amount of wood....See MoreDo stone/tile floors and dark cabinets exist in kitchens anymore?

Comments (18)Here is a sample of our trim. I have enjoyed the look and low maintenance of wood trim for the past 20 years. I'm embarassed to admit, I've only thoroughly washed it a few times, if that, over the past 20 years. My routine has been to vacuum it when dusty looking, and for the most part it has always looked fine. I love the look of painted trim also! We are in the process of putting on a 940 sq ft addition and we plan on painting most of the new woodwork. Wood trim original house and painted in new add on . . . what do you think? Make sense? The addition includes expanding and updating the kitchen. I'm planning on going white trim, hardwood floors, and a combination of wood and painted cabinets. The same for the mudroom/butler's pantry area right off of the kitchen. Lots of beadboard, white subway tiles . . . you probably know the look all too well. Good luck with your decision and post lots of photos. Here is a link that might be useful: Wood Trim...See MoreIs ANYONE doing 4' granite backsplashes anymore?
Comments (41)Mpagmom, that is a gorgeous kitchen you posted. What makes the stripe of granite BS really work in that kitchen in the careful planning the designer or someone did. The height of the granite BS is the same height as the range vent, the bottom of the window sills and the bottom of the cabinets around the range, so there is one clean, black line that goes around the entire space. We are planning a mix of BS styles. Our range wall and sink/window wall are separated by a patio door. The range wall is a focal wall and will have tile or a sheet of glass from the countertops to the bottoms of the cabinets and up behind the hood. Our sink run of cabinets is 10' long with a 6' wide bay window in the center. There is about 6" between the countertop and the window, so we will use a granite BS to bridge that gap. Above will just be paint. I wanted to just paint that wall to the counter, but my designer has convinced me I don�t want painted drywall down to the counter. I also really like the little 2" stone back splashes....See MoreMarg2
