any photos of carrara counter on non pure white cabinets?
Comments (2)Get some stone samples if you can or take a cabinet sample to a stone yard. If the cabinets are not pure white, I think carrera will be too cold and grey looking. Calacutta would be a warmer choice and bring out the warmth in the cabinets. Then again, if you wnat do downplay the warmth, go for the Carrera. My cabinets are a warm creamy white and the Carrera was just too cold and too much greyt in it so we went with Calacutta.

Comments (8)I think that the more you worry about trends, the more likely you are to find your otherwise great kitchen obsolete when the designers are promoting other styles. Shaker is a classic style that happens to be particularly popular right now, but if your decision-making team has a taste for something else, that is great too. For a budget redo, I bought a set of cabinets from craigslist whose quality was good but whose style I am not crazy about. Nonetheless, after they were painted white, I think they will be fine for the foreseeable future. Check cabinet vendor sites to see various door styles in various finishes, then go with what you like. Cheers....See MoreAny fave drawer/cabinet handles/pulls for white wood old kitchen?
Comments (1)For some reason bin pulls never called to me either. I used the RH Ephram pull in ORB and SN on white cabinets. Someone once said they didn't have SN at the turn of the century but it is not a dis-similar look to an aged polished nickle. I really like both finishes with the white. I found that different handles I preferred in different finishes (i.e. didn't like in PN but liked in ORB.) I liked that it is very simple but not boring. They are 4 inches center to center. I used Aubrey knobs. http://media.restorationhardware.com/is/image/rhis/prod1080030_HW07?$PD$ Lost of people use these traditional pulls, made by RH and others. http://media.restorationhardware.com/is/image/rhis/prod1278084_HW07?$PD$ Love glass knobs, like (not love) glass pulls. I used glass knobs and PN Ephram pulls on my desk. Just to be a geek, if I had to do it over again I would get a sample of and possible use this reproduction handle. It is 3.5 inches center to center (from screw centers.) I would probably do polished nickel and even consider "aging it" with solution they sell. When it is 'aged' it is not polished but looks more like a pewter but not the rustic design that you see in most pewter styles. I looked high and low for this style - the RN bistro is similar but seems a little more 'designed.' My post tinged with a little regret, clearly :) Hope this helps.

Comments (28)White is a color. Not a trend, not a classic. Don't believe me? Here are four white kitchens -- two are "outdated" and two are "trendy". Not too many years ago that first kitchen was the height of fashion -- in a decade or two, the two kitchens on the right will appear just as "dated" as that first kitchen does. Today's trend is not white; rather, today's trend is the combination of white inset shaker cabinets paired with white countertops and plain subway backsplashes. It's not the color white that'll look "outdated" in the future -- it's the details /the combination of today's trendy details. So go with white, or go with stained wood -- but avoid choosing "today's package", today's trend. Choose your own details, put in something that makes it your own....See More

13 years agoMmmmm, I adore Allison's French Gray kitchen, forever my first kitchen love.
Me? Yellow!
But there are plenty of other colors! Boxerpups will be along soon with her Amazing Collection of Colored Cabinetry Photos, but in the meantime, what colors would you consider? Blue, green, yellow, gray, purple, red, black, mocha ...?

13 years agoHave to agree with Allison ;-), although I love other peoples' white kitchens for them. I have slightly yellow cream on the island, but gray around the rangetop, and burgundy on one whole side of the room. The rest, including the sink run you can't see in the following photos, are natural fir. Have some fun! :-D

My cabs aren't quite as grey as they look in this pic. I often refer to the colour as "antique Rubbermaid blue."

13 years agoI have sage green. They look a lot like mfrog's lowers. The picture doesn't quite capture the color because of the flash.

13 years agoKellia, ours are a light sage green that actually looks yellow in some lights - it's a great colour because it really does pick up on the lighting.
This pic shows that contrast based on lighting really well:
And I was convinced that I wanted white cabs initially...
