Need help with Alabaster white molding color and trim
Comments (21)We went through the same turmoil trying to make the trim decision. Our cabs are SW paint matched to BM White Dove which is similar to Alabaster. We are bright white gloss trim people. We painted scrap trim with white and some with White Dove in all the sheen options available (could have had a whole room painted for the cost of paint we bought to make this decision). Cabinets are satin sheen White Dove. In the end we went with Oil based semigloss White Dove trim for all crown/baseboards, and casing for doors and windows. We even went with White Dove ceiling paint. We like how it turned out. The white made our cabinets look yellowish or grayish depending on the lighting. For our White Dove choice, I just like how it all flows together. The different sheens provide the contrast for me. Good luck! Won't you be glad when all this is done? Remodel/new build decisions are not for the faint at heart!...See MoreWhite paint dilemma - matching cabinets and trim?
Comments (2)Stick with the Decorator’s white for trim through out the house. Also, if you are doing ceilings, used Decorator’s White in flat finish for them Here is a picture of how it will look…gorgeous! https://www.houzz.com/photos/query/ben-moore-gray-owl/nqrwns...See MoreSimply White cabinets and trim with what other "white" paint color?
Comments (17)My one regret with the black island is that I chose a shaker door without a bevel. Those little corners are hard to clean and the black shows everything! If I could do it over I would still do a black island but it would be a stained wood, painted black and then distressed. That way any nicks and bumps show wood and not a white chip. We are considering changing that down the road....See MoreWhat do I need to do to get these off-white cabinets white?!
Comments (2)We considered Bakery Box for our cabinets. Went with Valspar Woodlawn Dewmist. But - the only recommendation I can give is to get samples of the whites that you like from multiple manufacturers. Paint at least a 5x7 if not 8x10 stretched fabric panel with them. Look at the colors in all types of lighting conditions. Both Bakery Box 'Dewmist' are not pure whites. Neraly all (except for base white) will have tint added. it will throw the color to a warmer or cooler zone. Best Wishes...See Moreowataqt
