Should I have my oak kitchen cabinets refinished or painted?
Comments (3)We had our oak kitchen cabinets painted a light cream color. We debated about this for four years. My husband was really against painting wood, but finally we just went for it. Now we wish we'd done it sooner. They look amazing. We cannot see the grain underneath. We did have them professionally done. It updated our kitchen...looks great. Go for it, but do it right....See MoreWhat color paint should I use in my kitchen?
Comments (5)Thanks all for the suggestions! Didn't think of the home decorating forum, have reposted there. artsyphartsy_home_maker - you know your dogs!! She is actually a maltipoo (I think her nose is a little longer like a poodle) - but you only got the back side there as she strolled through my picture!...See MoreV Confused, what paint should I use for the kitchen cabinets and walls
Comments (5)Thank you for all the comments! I didn't think of changing the backsplash so that was a helpful suggestion- I'm planning on painting or whitewashing the ceramic backsplash, its adding a lot of unnecessary pink to the kitchen, plus it does not go with the granite countertops. I'll start off with painting the walls first to see how that'll impact the room, then move on to the backsplash. I'm super tempted to paint over the cabinets but some of you have mentioned how that doesn't last well. I don't like glossy finish or the dark walnut, so I might just end up sanding and re-staining it a lighter color, but that'll be my last step. For those asking about the floor- it is Masseria Casali tile, and its only in the kitchen and washrooms. The rest of the house is half carpet half dark walnut glossy flooring (like the cabinets). Any color suggestions for the ceramic and wall in the kitchen? I need some color scheme inspirations, any helpful keywords on google/pinterest. Thank you all in advance, I can't wait to post update pics....See MoreWhat color of white should I paint my honey oak cabinets?
Comments (4)do you have a quote. this would be far too expensive relative to the age and general remaining value of the cabinets. I would consider a section to redo either paint or replace. I would not paint this entire cluster of oak cabinets all one shade of white or off white. the counters are doing no favor in reality.....but you could leave a section of this counter material somewhere and replace some........the backsplash should be replaced no matter what and the floor could be much nicer and you could complement the medium toned oak cabinetry with a new floor. so you have a pick of floor/counters/backsplash. I'd study the options and line item some pricing of doing another one or two things before I'd paint the cabs....See Moreuther
