What color should I paint my cabinets?
Comments (11)Why don't you consider a nice green color with a bit of a glaze for your cabinets? I did the cream with heavy glaze in my kitchen (your top link is my kitchen!) and I love them, but I never considered any other color and now that I've seen some green glazed cabinets - I think about redoing my island in green!!! (Its black now with the perimeter in glazed cream.) Green cabs would stand out nicely against your walls. There is a forum member here named Teppy and I'm attaching a link to her photobucket. She has a some inspiration photos on there with distressed green islands and they are gorgeous, as well as her own green island. Here is a link that might be useful: http://s293.photobucket.com/albums/mm49/1teppy1/...See MoreCream, Brown, Taupe & Black Granite??
Comments (14)Thank You All So Much for the suggestions!! I visited the granite slab yard today and it is a bit overwhelming!! My floors are going to be medium/dark oak, the exterior cabinets are cherry stained dark (more brown - no red), The island paints a creamy white (with a glaze - maybe?) and the hood paints the same. Creamy subway tile backsplash, either a limestone (durango cream) farm sink or dark copper, oil rubber bronze faucets and hardware. There is tons of natural light so I dont think it will go to dark. The whole back of the house is windows. But I do need the granite of be in the light/ creamy direction. I did see Cream Boudeaux today and like it. But wondering if it tends to go grey? Any more suggestions would be great. And of course, the pictures are extremely helpful!! THanks!!!...See MoreShould I paint inside of black, glass front cabinet white?
Comments (6)It's not weird at all. I wouldn't do white white; I'd do a soft grey or something the complements other things. You see something similar in old china and book cabinets which are often lined with fabric. Oh....is this actually IN your kitchen? In that case the white would be totally fine. If it's alone in a room by itself, THEN go with an interior color that ties into something else....See MoreShould I paint my kitchen cabinets? Help!!
Comments (10)I have painted oak cabinets and they look great. Of course the grain shows. That’s part of the charm and they look like the real wood cabinets that they are! I also don’t have a problem with the exposed hinges. It’s a vintage kitchen ; remove all the hardware, clean them well and reuse them. Painting kitchen cabinets is a big job however so make sure you are up to the task. I do think you need to change your backsplash though. It just doesn’t work with your granite....See Moreplllog
