Painting Oak Kitchen cabinets - need help picking the color
Comments (7)This is timely because I have similar cabinets. I've been looking for whites that aren't too bright. I just got an estimate from a cabinet painter; his proposal included 2 coats of oil-based primer and then 2 coats of either oil or water-based paint. Here's what I've found in other threads: BM Linen White: SW Alabaster: SW Casa Blanca: SW Dover White: Here is a link that might be useful: Instructions on painting cabinets...See MoreWhat kind of paint should I use to paint oak kitchen cabinets?
Comments (2)Thank you very much, Chris. Would Benjamin Moore Advance satin finish be fine? I checked BM's website, and saw they only have primer, satin, and high-gloss in advance series. What kind of roller would you suggest? Really appreciate your help....See MoreHelp with paint colors - oak cabinets slate colored tiles (PICS)
Comments (10)Juddgirl2 - Thanks for the link! I really like the Believable Buff you used. And I will check out Camelback and Whole Wheat as well. I'm still torn between a yellow (White Raisin) and a neutral for the common areas of the house. Time to get some samples and paint some large swatches! Elaine - The pictures of your house in another post is what made me want to go with White Raisin throughout! It's beautiful, I just love that color. Its warm without being too bright of a yellow. Although I love the colors in your house I think the Bamboo Shoot is a little to green for me, I'd prefer something a little more muted for my master. BM Olive Branch was my first choice but I was trying to find a similar color in Sherwin Williams since that's what the painter uses and saw Svelte Sage... not quite the same but a nice muted sage green. And the Connected Gray was one step deeper on the same strip so I thought that would go nicely in the bathroom. Lukkiirish - Thanks for the information on Restore-a-Finish. I see they have it on amazon.com so it will be easy to find....See MorePaint for kitchen w/ honey oak cabinets and terra cotta floor
Comments (36)arcy, I can reposition the island. Funny you mentioned that because my mom hopped on the wagon to help me figure out what to do with the kitchen and she, too, suggested I reposition it. She also pointed out that the otherside of the island is much more attractive than the side that's exposed to the dining room. I will turn it next time I'm at the house and see what it's like. Thanks! Also, thanks for the wallpaper suggestion. I'll check out the collection at SW for ideas just in case. :) annkathryn, your cabinets are GORGEOUS! Thank you for the inspiration photos. They are gentle reminders of ways I can live with what I've got for now until I'm able to do what you did with transforming them. Great job! As promised, here are better photos of the kitchen: Here you can see the two green samples as well as a TINY bit of the Toasted Cashew I tried to sample peeking through Backsplash details (there is some splattering from cooking, that's not the tile) Close up of the tile in the kitchen (the grout will be cleaned when we move in so it'll lighten up a bit, the tile that will be installed in the dining room and living room will be similar in color to the lighter tile in the dividing strip shown here) Looking into the kitchen from the DR Someone requested a photo of the view from the back of the kitchen looking out to the DR -- pardon my lovely SIL, she was rinsing paint from her hands and the mini rollers, and my hand wasn't very steady here My mom suggested I take advantage of the side of the island shown in the above photo and turn it outward towards the DR. She also mentioned the idea of painting the island as some suggested here. I really like that idea! Hope this helps you all more than the previous photos did....See Moreavesmor
