another DH who doesn't like white...help needed
Comments (6)I feel your pain...my DH is currently anti-painted cabinet. I plan on wearing him down, and possibly beginning the painting process while he's at work...but if I want to stay married, I'd like to at least know he'll be happy with the final result! I think gray would be really pretty! My only fear about coventry gray is that it could be a little dark, but I'm paranoid about dark rooms, especially since my home is low on natural light. It could be really classy; look forward to seeing how everything turns out. Here are some previous threads along similar lines...you're not alone: The White Kitchen Dilemma (another anti-white-cab husband) http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg02135057911.html?11 If Not White, What Painted Cabinet Color? http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg0215445617070.html Gray Cabinets: Who has them? http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg0912401114707.html Grey/Taupe-Colored Cabinets?

Comments (22)I have your #2 in the size made for refrigerator doors. I have three of them in the antique pewter, I believe (it's been over a year since I bought them and I can't remember what they called that finish). They're very sustantial and fit nicely in my hand, which was very important to me. I didn't want a kitchen full of pretty knobs and pulls that were uncomfortable to use. Have you tried them all yourself yet? I'd really advise that you do before you buy. When we were choosing all the stuff for our kitchen reno last year, I was shocked to find that my top two hardware choices were actually very uncomfortable to use. And, since I'm cooking every day in there, I wasn't about to do that to myself. Lynn...See MoreWhy should I choose Custom cabinets over Semi-custom?
Comments (24)The lines between custom and semi-custom have become increasingly blurred. Used to be that custom meant you could get any wood specie you want, in any door style you want, in any color or finish choice you want. Many smaller, local builders call themselves custom, but in many cases you can get "more custom" work from brands that call themselves semi-custom. Showplace will build custom configured cabinets (you draw it, they build it), or you can modify a standard cabinet to the 1/16" -- they also offer custom painted finishes, but they call themselves semi-custom because you must live with the styles and species they offer. The best advise is to research your options and, as others have said, make a good product-service-installation value decision based on what is most important to you. It is always most helpful also to talk with friends, family, co-workers, etc. and see if they, or someone they know, have done a project and could make a recommendation. Here is a link to a planning guide that is helpful. Admittedly, the content eventually moves toward Showplace offerings, but much of the early content is viable regardless of the brand you choose.

Comments (11)And now I am thoroughly confused! I do have a spot with 6+ hours of sun, and the soil is dry there. On the other hand, I really do not need another problem plant -- already have goosenecked loosestrife, Mayapple taking over, and running buttercup. Those thugs just laugh at me, and if there is even a remote chance that Elijah might prove thuggish, I think I must give up. Le sigh....See Morerosiew
