Oak cabinet options - paint walls vs paint cabinets?
Comments (18)You have a wonderful lot of storage. I also don't find your cabinets objectionable. I think the builder grade oak cabinets are the ones that have given oak such a bad name. There are some very nice, different style oak cabinets like yours that are quite lovely. I agree with the lighting. I would say holes in the drywall would be better than such a terribly dated, dirty looking (nothing personal, I think all those of that style look dirty) box light. It just cannot be your style! I have a hard time speaking to color online, given different monitor resolutions. Green to gray would probably be lovely with your countertop, but gray to me wouldn't compliment what I'm seeing color-wise of your cabs. Green? As long as it didn't have a yellow base. You've got lots of potential there! :)...See MoreHelp pick wall color for kitchen with oak cabinets and oak trim
Comments (6)The new lighting could effect the wall color and the color of the wood - so definitely do that first. Do some research into the lasting effects of gel stain - I've heard both good things and bad things. Here are just some unasked for thoughts- if I was working with this kitchen on a budget, I would possibly remove the upper trim piece and the small wood piece over the windows. I might remove the entire cabinet to the left of the farthest left window and replace with some shelves. I would remove the over the range microwave, which being short I could not even use, and replace with a stand alone vent. You could do a stainless vent for a more modern look. It is more expensive, but you could stain an unfinished wood hood with insert for a more farmhouse look. You have so much lower storage I actually would be tempted to remove all of the upper cabinetry - especially if there is a pantry cabinet - I was wondering where the fridge is - is there a pantry cabinet next to it? As far a curtains - I do like the softness and color window treatments add, though tis is a person style choice. This vent is a little larger than you would want: Less uppers - pretty window treatment: Rustic shelves: If you like a bit of country / farmhouse, beadboard makes an inexpensive backsplash and works well with shelves - rather than tiling, which might possibly need to be redone if you got new counters down the road. This is my basement kitchenette - done very economically with some of my original cabinets (refinished), shelving and beadboard - though in this case I used the beadboard wallpaper to save money - might replace with the real thing in time: https://www.houzz.com/photos/my-pics-work-in-progress-phvw-vp~65270573 My main kitchen is also oak and in my "my pics" idea book - if you want some possible ideas for counters/ backsplash / farm sink - but it is done in a vintage style....See MoreI need ideas for wall paint colors with natural red oak flooring.

Comments (5)Your cabinets appear to be natural maple. Oak has a much more pronounced grain. Maple does tend to yellow over time. As for floors - I tend to like the natural wood tones or only slight staining. Darker floors show more dust and scratches. Some however prefer darker and don't mind keeping the Swiffer handy. You floor looks like a natural or possibly "spice" prefinished oak floor. These can be a little more to finish because it takes extra work to remove the factory finish, but they should be smooth and look really nice when they are done. Be aware that counters with large format design can be difficult to seam well (get the design to match across the seam) especially in a counter the shape of yours and may require more than one seam - a countertop person could tell you for sure. You may need to buy extra material to get any kind of a match on the seams. I would consider a less bold pattern. Most warm woods do not work well with cool grays. However, the more yellow tone of maple does seem to help it work with grays, but be careful of overly cool toned countertops. Here is a warm wood kitchen idea book - perhaps you will get some ideas: https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/75202366/list/wood-kitchens...See MoreRelated Professionals
