Do you think you want a painted color? Yellow, blue and green all seem popular right now. There's also a huge variety of wood tones. Do you want half wood/half painted? Maybe base cabinets one color and uppers another?
As you can see...there are many, many possibilities! Here are a few to get you started.

Frameless cabinets with painted finish other than white
Comments (7)The Advantage line from Bridgewood. Their website doesn't show all their colors, but the newest catalog we got from the cabinet dealer does, guess they haven't updated yet. Ours were just installed this week and I'm very happy with them. Here is a link that might be useful: Advantage...See MoreFinish OTHER Than Nickel or Pewter, Etc for White Kitchen
Comments (10)Thanks--you've all been reassuring and have made me feel so much better. While I'm thrilled to have these decisions to make, I'm starting to seriously second guess myself. rosie-I'm intrigued. Do you mean look for solid brass hardware? Any specific suggestions? I'll start searching, but there's so much out there and I've found it's hard to tell sometimes exactly what is what! rmkitchen-I LOVE your kitchen and all of your choices are dead-on. For some reason, I'm simply not "feeling" the nickel/chrome for my kitchen. By the way, you're one of the key reasons I'm feeling good about both the marble and ordering from Grothouse Lumber. There's still a very slight chance I'll go with a dark brown granite, if it's exactly right, but I'm pretty sold on the wood....See MoreDid you use something other than recessed cans?
Comments (5)This was a real issue for me because I didn't want a million cans. I've gotten over that since I have found how great the light is from them. But I came up with a solution that worked for me. I have cans around the perimeter work space, pendants over the island and a semi-flush mount in the middle of the kitchen. I did purchase coordinating pendants and semi-flush mount, but it works for me. The semi-flush mount has 2 incandescent bulbs with 100 watt maximum (on a dimmer) and we use that the most. I also have under cabinet lighting which I almost never use because I don't need to. I'm really sorry that I paid really big bucks for it. From Overview of kitchen and bath remodel As you can see, I have a huge amount of natural light in this kitchen, but it gets dark at night just like every place else.

Comments (0)My new build is getting close to complete, they are painting the interior now. I have a tray ceiling in the master bedroom, with crown molding at the bottom of it, and putting tape lighting in the crown cavity to illuminate the tray ceiling area. Six 4" recessed cans surround the tray ceiling, and we are going to put some sort of light or fan in the center of the tray ceiling area. So right now, the whole ceiling is painted white, and the crown trim is like a semi gloss white. Walls in the room are Sherwin Williams accessible beige. I've seen a few pics online where the short walls and ceiling in the tray area were painted a different color, and I like the look. Was thinking about using accessible beige in that area too, or a slightly darker shade of it. But the bedroom is not big, would it make the bedroom appear smaller?...See More
