If cabinets are a color, what about pantry door, etc?
Comments (4)I painted my pantry door and trim the same white as my cabs. But...I painted my whole house full of new interior doors and all new interior trim so maybe that doesn't count. Somewhere, probably Houzz, I saw a pretty kitchen with painted cabs and painted pantry door trim with a wood door. It struck me because I would have thought it wrong before I saw it. It looked pleasing....See MoreStain or paint kitchen cabinets?????? What color??
Comments (4)You guys r so gr8, ,, thanks for responding:) It's just a tough decision.... But I think you are right olychick! Once painted it would b very difficult to go back. I just wasn't sure if light stain was "in" theses days... I have had that table for so long...would not mind a new one to tell the truth! Nosoccermom, thanks so much for the photos!! They r beautiful! No we haven't selected hardware until we decide the finish. If white was going to go with the cup style brushed nickle drawer handles & matching knobs on cabinets... But if stained light might go with something a little more contemporary, even though our house is a traditional 1976 model... Not sure if we should do that because may be selling it soon... Have to keep in mind the masses... Live wire, you r so right.. Little contrast in here... Guess I'm afraid... I love to paint& Contrast is what I struggle with in my paintings also! I think with the dark countertops (though not much of It) would that not be too much dark?? Plus since it is so open to living R that is mostly whites & tans ( one whole wall is a painted off white brick fireplace... Hmmm, I don't like Mid tone brown stains at all.. Reminds me of the 70 cabinets we had when we purchased this place... But DO like the Very dark almost black stains... Something to think about for sure......See MoreWhat wall color did you paint your kitchen with white cabinets?
Comments (42)BM London Fog. It looks great against our white cabinets and our quartz is VERY close to your color from what I can tell. The London Fog matches the background tone of the quartz nicely and the white cabinets give it a fresh, clean, updated look. Not the best picture because our deck outside casts a pink tone to our wall, but you can see the quartz, wall color and white door in this pic to see how they work together. Here is a better picture of the wall color over by the ovens and up against the cabinetry. It looks darker here than it typically does in the light of day....See MoreHelp!

Comments (44)jeffandalisa - Well, actually A'Lisa! ;) Too funny! Thank you for the compliment, although not sure if we've made the right decisions thus far. Our kitchen started as a "Hey, we need to get rid of these 6 x 6 beige tiles", to replacing/redoing almost everything. Hubby and I weren't crazy about the MOP, but all the gorgeous tiles we fell in love with were over $65.00 -$400.00 sq.ft. Told my husband wasn't going to spend that much on backsplash. MOP was a good cross over (holding us in), until I give in and replace them all with the stuff we initially wanted. Agree with "difficult stone to compliment..", but it's stunning regardless. You don't have stare at drywall, instead stare at every other stunning piece you have in your kitchen! Our cabinets are being prepped for painting as we speak. We'll see how the paint color choice will end up like. :) PLEASE share pix of your finished kitchen when backsplash is completed. DYING to see what you choose!...See Morebritishlover
