Can I paint my oak cabinets white but leave my trim oak?
Comments (3)Oak white combo is not dated. This pic on This Old House site last week: Other pics: Paint your cabinets only if you want to. Do not get on the trend merry go round. Unless your budget is huge, you wont be able to keep up with the changing trends....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 MoreWhat is the best wall paint color for honey oak floors
Comments (14)Houzzers appreciate previous inputs! Viewed most suggestions. Front runner, still Balboa Mist. Talked hubby into considering a white-ish color for walls, provided there's contrast so ceiling trim stands out. Navy wall in dinning stays. Anyone done white-ish walls with oak floors?

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 Morechloebud
