Dark kitchen cabinets? What does your kitchen table look like?

I am in need of some help. I gel stained my oak kitchen last year a dark color, and my table never really "fit" in after I did this. So now its time for me to start looking for something new, but I am lost. Same dark stain? White? unfinished? ugh
Just to give you an idea of what my kitchen looks like. Any kitchen/nook table advice wanted. :D

12 years agoHi kady..
I agree with oldbat2be..show us what you have now and I'm sure you will get lots of advice..Like, could you gel-stain your table and chairs?
Until then, I will show you what I have..
I too have really dark kitchen cabinets..I had both tables BEFORE my remodel...I don't think you always have to match stains..in my case they just happen to all be dark.
Here's whats in my breakfast nook directly next to the kitchen..
And here is my formal dining room which you can also see from the kitchen...The table is actually black..The square chairs are black, and the rounded chairs and hutch were gel-stained by moi...They use to be white-washed oak..

What does an expensive kitchen look like?
Comments (42)I'd define "expensive looking" with the details. Basics -everything is completed, no unfinished edges, trim, etc -trim, even if simple, is properly installed -finished end panels (even IKEA offers them) -no obvious patches (like caulking over a 1/2 inch gap at the wall or random trim added to hide something) -adequate lighting (of any kind) "Upgrades" that might add some cost -deeper cabinet over fridge and side panels -paint on the walls that isn't white or very light "builder beige" -matching appliances (of any brand) -flooring that's not beige tile or sheet vinyl -most consider granite expensive, or quartz, but if you pick one of the new laminates make sure you don't have those lines where sheets meet at the edges. There are plenty of edge options now, and even squared off edges can almost disappear -undermount sink -faucet and pulls in whatever finish is big where you are (probably not 3 inch brass look) -if you have an outlet under the sink for the GD, an air switch for the GD. They are like $50 plus a hole in the counter if you are getting a new counter. Getting the hole might cost a lot if someone has to come out just for that. -colors/materials that look cohesive -lots of clear counter space -window treatments that fit in with the design Now, someone interested in more than how it looks might want more. But basically I think you'd want anyone passing through the get the impression that the room is cohesive, bright, not small, and not have anything that stands out as out of place or slapped together....See MoreWhat does your kitchen look like today?
Comments (10)Today is an exciting day for this DIYer with a small galley kitchen. DuraSupreme cabinets installed enough that I can call for template of the Cambria! From marguerite during Drawer #3 missing in the far small drawer bank, it is the only cabinet drawer front or door that I was not happy with and I am taking it back to the KD tomorrow when I order the counters. From marguerite during Cambria fabrication is running 5 weeks in my area. So I will install and align the doors and leave the kitchen to get a bathroom functioning in this renovation. Then come back and install my Marmoleum and get the appliances in and wait for my counters....See MoreWhat do your neighbor's kitchens look like?
Comments (25)Our neighborhood is really a mixed bag---homes are a mix of 2-3 BR single-family houses built between 1910 and 1925 and multi-family buildings built between 1907 and 1960 (with a few of the older multi-family buildings originally designed as mansions, and later carved up into smaller units; none of them are still used as single-family homes so those original kitchens, which must have been elaborate, are long gone!) So, consequently, there's a real range of kitchens depending on when they were last remodeled. The newer ones (remodeled in the last ten years, say) tend to be light-stained wood cabinets, Shaker style, with granite or granite-look counters and tile backsplashes. Then there are a bunch of late 60s remodeled kitchens (some of which are pretty awesome!) which tend to be colored painted cabinets with formica counters, sometimes replaced with granite. Every now and then you see what I call the "Home Depot" kitchen, which is just the normal oak cabinets with granite or laminate counters. And then you also see some IKEA kitchens if they've been done in the past ten years (when an IKEA opened two miles away); all the ones I've seen have been one of the two white styles they have, with butcherblock or granite counters. So I'm not really sure we have a "style" as a neighborhood. A lot of this comes down to the neighborhood history, too. It started out life as an elite area for the wealthy (mansions era), then because a middle-income area where families were building modest homes in the 1910s and 1920s and remained that until the mid 1960s, when white flight started and freeways came in. During the 70s and 80s, few of the homes were owner-occupied, with lots of absentee landlords. The area hit an economic low point in the early 80s during the crack epidemic, and then began to climb back up, with lots of gentrification in the late 90s/early 2000s. The families here now are, with a couple of exceptions, Gentrification 2.0---we all moved into a neighborhood that had already stabilized, homes that had already been restored, etc. You can pretty much track the kitchen remodels to those periods, which I find really interesting---kitchens remodeled in 1960 will be of a very different finish level/quality than those done in 1980. Not true for every house---a couple of the original families stayed here through the 1980s, and one couple from the 60s is still here---but there are definitely some trends. However, I can safely say that our kitchen will not look like any of our neighbors' kitchens, for now at least! So I guess that's good for keeping it diverse......See MoreWhat Does Your Kitchen Table and Chairs Look Like?
Comments (29)Hand-me-downs ... remainders from Uncle's time in the house. Formica top on squarish table, with chrome legs that can be pulled out when one or other of the drop-leaves are lifted. Three wooden stained chairs with spindles holding up the arced top bars, seats slightly shaped, separate maroon pads for comfort. Kitchen is small - table against living room wall, with just doorway between table and counter, including stainless double sink/cupboards: with a bit of a stretch, while seated at he table, I can reach a spoon sitting on the edge of the counter by the sink. On the other side, the stove sits next to the living room wall, facing the table, with barely enough room to open the oven to put things in and out: I can reach things on the front burners of the stove. The fridge sits beside the stove, with door opening away from the stove and I can reach some things in the fridge while seated at the table, with a bit of a stretch. The door leading to the back stair is in a boxed-in corner by the wall at my back, with the wall leading out to it about 6 inches from the fridge, and the box holding it sticks out about a foot into the kitchen almost a foot beyond the front of the fridge: I can reach it from the table, as well. Two doors, two windows. It wouldn't be a good idea to try to have a boxing match in my kitchen! ole joyful...See Moreboxerpups
12 years agoI used to have a light cherry table that I repainted to
go with my dark ebony floors. I do understand wanting to
make things flow visually. I won't bore you with pics of
my kitchen as it is not dark. I just wanted you to know
there are creative solutions.
Can your table be painted?
Re-stained or gel stained?
Maybe you could match it?
Maybe you need to do nothing at all, a picture would help
to see what can be done.Hope these help.

12 years agoyour kitchen loooks great!! Nice work it really looks brand new. My cabs are oak stained mahagony, so not quite as dark and I have a small dark counter height table in the room and a lighter walnut with teak legs, like herb's :), in the sdjacent dining room. I think either works and I too like a mix of finishes and am not too matchy matchy with my furnishings.
