white vinyl or natural wood veneer interiors on white cabinets?
Comments (3)Neither. Vinyl is a cheap crappy way to finish a cabinet interior. Wood can be problematic with water resistance and roughness. The ideal material for a cabinet interior is high pressure melamine, whether white to match the exterior, or a natural maple as is done on most cabinetry. It's super easy to maintain with just a wipe. It's water resistant, and it's durable. And it's not a high cost either....See MoreNeed opinions on white trimmed medicine cabs above wood vanity
Comments (6)Sorry, not yet! New build so we are just at the drywall and paint stage, no tile or vanities in yet. Actually, vanities probably are going in this week. I got the same medicine cabinets as pps7 from RH, and the same Kohler memoirs sinks. Our vanities are espresso, and my flooring is dark wood-look tile. The counters are carrera, and there is a backsplash above the vanities which are carrera subways along with the shower walls. We have chrome wall mounted faucets. Overall pretty similar to pps7 except with a darker floor and my fixtures are more contemporary/modern rather than traditional. The paint color is Gray Owl by Benjamin Moore. Hopefully, it will come out nice, but it's all just starting to come together now!...See MoreUpper white inset cabs with lower full overlay wood cabinets
Comments (13)I'm really liking the two tone look lately. I'm debating about it for my cabin's kitchen, so of course I had to search for some examples. Here are few I found. This one is my favorite! Here are a few from GW that did the wood fridge surround which I like. I'm not sure though if in a smaller kitchen whether or not it would be better for all the uppers to flow with the fridge surround??? Hopefully others will chime in. Here is one with white around fridge and oven stack. I like both! But I am leaning toward the wood surround myself. I really think it's more just personal preference though because both look nice. I would also consider how much natural light your kitchen has as that might make you lean toward white. If you could post pictures of your existing space that would help us give the best advice....See MoreHow do I mix white and natural wood cabinets?
Comments (47)Wendy: that's certainly an even harder combo to find: a galley kitchen with a unique painted/wood cabinet mix! Thanks so much for thinking of me and sharing it! :) arialvetica: you rock! Wow did you find lots of great inspiration photos! I especially like that kitchen by Tineke Trigg. I've saved all the photos I could find of that kitchen and the adjoining dining room. I still haven't 100% confirmed what the final design will be but I do really want to bring in some bold colour somewhere! I love that comment your builder made about your KD.
