White paint for kitchen cabs with Carrara marble
Comments (2)Thanks Robin! Based on the suggestion of Simply White from you and one other person, I tried it out along with White Dove, Gardenia, Mascarpone, SW Snowbound, a few of my own formula concoctions, and dozens of big paint chips. Simply White is the definite winner! Thanks again for your suggestion. I hope my finished kitchen looks half as good as yours!...See MoreWhite paint for kitchen cabs with Carrara marble
Comments (19)I looked at all of your helpful suggestions on the largest paint chips each store had available. Here's what I tried out with painted samples and how they looked with my marble: *White Dove--sickly yellow-green undertone *Gardenia--very pretty but had a slight peachy undertone *Mascarpone--too yellow *SW Snowbound--very close but had a slight pink undertone *a few of my own formula concoctions *color match to the Kraftmaid white cabinet sample door I haven't returned yet And then I finally tried Simply White. Winner!! It's perfect. Chantilly Lace was a very simple white, but too stark. Simply White is also a simple white and has a touch of yellow, but not enough to turn it yellow like Mascarpone. It's just warm enough not to look sterile, but not so warm it's yellow. And now I will use Simply White for all the trim in the main part of the house since every room is basically open to each other, and the trim on the cabs will run around the entire ceiling. Thank you everyone! Fori, Drjoann, Pps7--loved seeing your rooms again. (Fori, tell me again why you left that great space! ;))...See MoreHelp 'Color In' My Kitchen- Yellow, Marble, Walnut, & White!!
Comments (42)MamaGoose- I always love seeing your kitchen! The white appliances look so good with the white and green cabinets...and all the open shelves provide so much display. Every time I see your kitchen, I think I need more display space in mine...and that hood is so wonderful! :) Fishies- Can you color in your fridge and any other appliances (besides the ovens) in the stainless steel, so we can see how that will look with the yellow or the white. Maybe color in the countertops, too. I forgot about the window seat being more of a bay shape. It looks very nice in your inspiration picture, but if you haven't actually framed it in yet(?) have you considered putting a built in desk/buffet there, instead? While I like the window seat, the desk would give you room for a file cabinet (for kids' papers, bills, etc.) and a lovely view, if the desk was actually in front of, or even in, the window. You could use one of the dining table chairs, when needed and maybe make your built-ins more similar? Just an idea......See MoreRed spots showing up on new carrara white marble tiles!
Comments (2)Do you have a photo you can post? My white marble did something similar - it was very distressing at first, but I learned to like it....See MoreBecky G
