Need to sand the old paint off from honey oak cabinets?
Comments (3)The cabinets will be more durable if you sand them down to raw wood. This is because the primer will stick best to raw then to some slick old finish, plus the primer can penetrate raw wood. It can't penetrate if you are painting over varnish or some other shiny surface. Personally, I think that if you are planning to sand your cabinets down to raw, then there is no need to clean them at all because you will be sanding through whatever you cleaned, it's a waste of time. It's not necessary to completely strip your cabinets though in order to paint them. Primers and paints are pretty good these days that you can still make them pretty durable by just painting over the finish. It just depends on how particular you are and how far you want to take the project....See MoreWall color (BM) for honey oak kitchen cabinets
Comments (32)I worry that any white that isn't WHITE will look dingy/dirty up against the white appliances, I would lean toward a bit of colour. I have written a few blog posts on both white appliances and wood cabinets, they might have some helpful info in them! https://www.kylieminteriors.ca/the-best-paint-colours-to-go-with-oak-wood/ https://www.kylieminteriors.ca/kitchen-ideas-decorating-with-white-appliances-painted-cabinets/ ~Kylie...See MorePaint choice with honey oak cabinets and trim
Comments (3)Here's a picture of it next to what appears to be honey oak floors and it looks nice: Edgecomb Gray (Kylie M Interiors) Definitely try a sample of it in your space and look at it on different walls at different times of day to see if you like it in your lighting with all the other elements in your space. In my lighting the paint chip tends to skew a little purple, but I haven't heard anyone else mention that. I prefer Alaskan Skies (BM-972), which is very similar to Edgecomb Gray but doesn't skew purplish to me. The guy at our paint store tried to tell me Edgecomb Gray was the same color as Alaskan Skies, just a different name (they no longer carry the Alaskan Skies paint chip in our local store), but I can definitely detect a difference....See MorePaint with honey oak cabinets
