We had planned on Bodbyn cabs, but because of the sale, too many were out of stock, so we opted for Diamond cabs with slab doors in Storm gray. I think the Costa Rose granite would have looked great with them, it is a pretty granite with a lot of movement but low contrast colors so it does not loo too busy. If it had been my kitchen, I'd have opted for Corian Silver Birch or Arrowroot I think.

I agree - love the floor but I think I would go with something simpler. I would look at different countertops, too. I know people (like someone above) always say that keeping things a darker single color makes a small space look bigger, but that's never my experience! I always think an all white space looks the biggest! So I'd do the white shaker cabs with maybe a white countertop and backsplash. We've purchased the pure white quartz from ikea, as well as the pure white acrylic (corian) and both look great and modern. If you think this house might appeal to some artsy hipster types, I also like the Marsta door which channels a midcentury vibe. It is on supersale right now. The space is small so I'd bring in interest with hardware and a lighting fixture.

We went with the all white grimslov and we absolutely love them. We've had the kitchen for about 6 months now so obviously not a long time but the cabinets are fabulous. They clean really easily but I do need to clean them a lot more than my last kitchen's cabinets! Sometimes we'll get something like pasta sauce on them and when I clean it off it looks like it leaves a kind of residue or stain but I keep cleaning and it goes away, so I guess you just have to be diligent about that. They show dirt really easily, like dirty hands definitely leave marks, but again I just clean them more often. We don't have kids but we aren't gentle on our cabinets. I have 3 cats and they love to stretch up and let me know they are next to me while I'm cooking, and they destroyed our last kitchen cabinets-accidentally of course-just resting their claws on the top of the cabinets. We are trying to break them of this habit but they still do it occasionally and there is not a single tiny scratch on any of the cabinets. Everything else about them, we love. We got the tall cabinets and love all the space. The slow closes are amazing. And I know putting it all together sounds daunting but we actually thought it was fairly easy. The cover panels were by far the biggest headache, and putting the metal rail on uneven walls. But the actual putting together of each box was easy if you've put together furniture before. we got all 1 drawer + 1 door cabinets, (not all drawers like is popular), and the drawers were bigger than expected.. taller if that makes sense. So wasted space in the height of the drawer- not sure if that makes sense. So a few weeks later we installed ikeas drawers within a drawer and absolutely LOVE them. Ikea was great about everything too, though I was on hold for like an hour 3 or 4 times due to missing items. That was fun. But they were always super nice and when we returned things we didn't need, no questions or anything. lets see, I think that's about it! Any other questions I'd be happy to answer.

We are just starting our kitchen remodel and had based it on getting the Ikea Bodbyn gray cabinets. This is what we budgeted for. However, we fell in love with a gray countertop and purchased the slab. So, now I am thinking we need to do white cabinets. I do not like the off white color that Ikea offers. I want a true white and am looking at the Axstad. However, I am a little worried about the foil finish that the Axstad has vs the painted finish that Bodbyn has. Can anyone offer any insight? Am I correct to be concerned about the foil finish separating from the door or cover pieces, or is it not that big of a deal? Any insight would be great. Thanks! I'm attaching a photo of the countertop for reference.
