Light (oyster?) grey cabinets anyone?
Comments (10)Below is a link to Crown Point's sight and a beautiful kitchen. I'm not sure if Mountain Mist is light blue or light grey, my monitor plays tricks on me. But you might want to consider blue. This is a beautiful kitchen. Also, I posted a question the other day, the subject: "More like CP or David T Smith", here is the link: http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg0322110722814.html Lots of folks gave me some great websites, many are in the UK, but for ideas they are great. Here is a link that might be useful: Crown Point Mountain Mist...See MoreWhite Appliances with Slightly Off White Cabinets
Comments (24)amw33629, I didn't post this yesterday as it probably won't help but I did pull out my kitchen mags and do a thumb through and I found a couple of examples. Kitchen Makeovers Fall 2008 Again a vintage white stove, 18" white dishwasher and white fridge in an alcove away from the cabinetry with no cupboard above. They had their Cabico cupboards hand painted (they wanted brushstrokes) and the look is very vintage with built in feet on the inset cabs, butcher block counters and vintage accessories including a 30's Hoosier cabinet. Kitchen Makeovers Fall 2008 Quite low budget kitchen in a 50's era home. Kitchen has a retro feel with white trim, white appliances, white cabinetry and a sheet vinyl white floor in a tile pattern. Walls are a stong colour that matches the laminate counters (no backspash) It's a U with uppers on only one side. Cute very simple and appliances seem to blend but overall the room has a stong retro feel. Kitchen Solutions #45 pg 38 Creamy white shaker cabinetry with Cleopatra granite and wood floor. Very contemporary (not modern) kitchen with a strong use of earthtones. In all honesty awful it looks like they cheaped out on the appliances (wall oven and micro combo, fridge and cooktop are visible). The appliances just look like they are waiting to be replaced. I like white appliances but the kitchen I'm working on is in a 50's row house and we are pushing the retro by doing a two tone composition vinyl tile floor, mixed cabinetry, open shelves and chunky hardware. Quirky not slick. Smilingjudy's fridge is very contemoporary and her only white appliance which is probably why it works with the more traditional white cabinetry (fridge and cabinetry have very different finishes as well) and those gorgeous Richlite countertops (very matte and just slightly mottled - quite different from a traditional granite). Probably not much help without pics, sorry....See MoreAnyone have white appliances/cabinets?
Comments (12)I've never been a big fan of ss, so my plan has been to do white appliances to the extent possible and it looks like I'll largely be able to manage it. (White for the dw, dbl wall oven, mw and fridge, black induction cooktop, ss hood). I think it would like fine with white cabs, which is what I almost did, and wouldn't break things up with cabs of another color (my maple, your GF's pastel) and certainly not anymore than ss. If she's got the budget and likes the look, she can always go for paneled appliances that will match the cabs. In fact, I think white next to pastel appliances will be less contrasty and jarring than ss next to them....See MoreOff white Cabinets/white appliances??
Comments (10)I think it can be done but it's tricky, especially if you fail to choose your off-white carefully. Too warm and creamy and either your cabs will look dirty or the appliances will look starkly white, almost grayish. If you find the right off-white and if you select shades of white for your other finishes, creating a kitchen that is a study in white, it could work. IMO, the kitchen meowser posted misses - none of the finishes relate to the other and there's nothing that ties it all together. I prefer seeing more contrast, like this one: You might be able to turn up photo examples others have posted by doing a site search on white appliances. That should help you figure out what you like and what makes a white/off-white combination work....See Morenumbersjunkie
