Ivory White, Linen White, White Dove BM Color Dilema
Comments (24)Ivory white is not Acadia white. Ivory white #925 is in the Classic colors fandeck and Acadia white #OC38 is in the Preview colors fandeck. They are very close in color. jbrodies' kitchen that was recently posted as finished has cabinets in Acadia White. Here's a pic of ours while being remodeled. We're not quite done yet, but you can get an idea of the Ivory White color. The wall next to the cabinet has been primed so it is white in color and you can see the Ivory white next to it has a bit of yellow creaminess to it. My hutch top is walnut so you can see it next to brown. Also, I have a lot of natural light in my kitchen, during the evening the cabs look even more creamy. I think either color would look great with Tropical Brown....See MoreWhich white for kitchen cabs and trim?
Comments (11)prairiemom and gsciencechick, your posts came just at the right time with your pictures since I am almost ready to paint my kitchen cabinets. I really wanted to change them but it is too costly so I will have to find someone to help me prime them and paint them. I need more light in my home. I love both the Chantily White and the BM Dove White colors. The BM White Heron walls are also very nice. My trim is BM White everywhere but I think BM White cabinets would be a little bit too white? What do you think? I need to chance the lights in the kitchen and the floor and counters but with my new car purchase (my car is 8 years old and does not protect my head since the head rest is not adjustable so I had enough and have been looking for a car that would be comfortable for a petite person like I am and I just found it), I really can only do a little bit at a time in my kitchen. I just really can't stand the laminate oak 20 year old kitchen cabinets anymore....See MoreWhat BM 'white' are you using for your cabs?
Comments (17)Our cabinet maker did ours. I think there is a lacquer top coat. In Toronto (most likely the same story elsewhere) the majority of 'custom' cabinet makers follow this formula: They all order doors, drawer fronts and the drawer boxes themselves from suppliers. In Toronto it's Cutrite Woodworking out of Waterloo. They manufacture doors to custom specs from all manner of material with choices of routered edge profiles etc. I think they may make the drawer boxes as well. The cabinet maker makes the carcasses, finishes the doors/drawer fronts and installs. Everywhere we went we were presented with the choice of 'any BM color' for paint. So the difference from one cabinet maker to the next was the construction of the carcasses, the quality of the finishing work, quality of install and price - all the most important things. I'm confident 99% of custom cabinet makers operate like this, ordering doors from factories that have the specialized equipment and real estate needed to produce them in large quantities. For painted doors, at least here in Canada, the most common material choice is MDF. For the same price we could have had solid maple doors painted, but you get shrinking / cracking and it's impossible to avoid. Our cabinets are plywood - for the entire kitchen it was an $800 premium and well spent. Cabinets are lighter, stronger, will last longer, offgas less fumes due to less glue used etc. etc. and the interiors look incredible as they're birch veneer, not plastic melamine. Also means the glass cabinets with painted interiors perfectly match the exteriors (not simply white melamine) and the paint adheres much much better to birch veneer vs. melamine. Off on a tangent I know. But I don't know how far along you are on choosing cabinet suppliers and this is good info for people of the future who Google it and land here. We did seriously consider going the IKEA route, with one of their solid wood doors and having them sprayed. But push come to shove that would have added $2000+ to the cost of the IKEA kitchen, we wouldn't have gotten the full ceiling height cabinets we wanted (9 foot ceilings) and it would still have cost 3/4 of what we paid for our fully custom cabinets. Maybe we got lucky in finding our cabinet maker (no fancy showroom, the guy who sold us the cabinets makes them, has a couple partners, one of which did the install by himself and also makes / paints the cabinets). It was cheaper to go custom vs. going to Home Depot, Lowes etc. We got quotes from everyone....See MoreSW Dover White and BM White Dove for trim
Comments (5)I think I remember reading that Alabaster was close to White Dove. Dover White is more creamy yellow. Both are nice colors! We just used White dove for the ceilings and trim in our newly remodeled bedrooms. I really like the color even though we have creamier trim throughout the rest of the house....See MoreRelated Professionals
