Painting Oak Kitchen cabinets - need help picking the color
Comments (7)This is timely because I have similar cabinets. I've been looking for whites that aren't too bright. I just got an estimate from a cabinet painter; his proposal included 2 coats of oil-based primer and then 2 coats of either oil or water-based paint. Here's what I've found in other threads: BM Linen White: SW Alabaster: SW Casa Blanca: SW Dover White: Here is a link that might be useful: Instructions on painting cabinets...See Morecalling white/off white cabinet kitchens owners...please help!
Comments (11)I also had my kitchen trim color computer-matched by the painters at the paint store using a piece of extra cabinet trim. Here is a photo showing a doorway trimmed, as well as our cedar board ceiling (painted with a translucent white-wash) and heavy beams that were painted the trim color. The color is extremely close to the "Swiss Coffee" color of my Kountry Kraft cabinets (which is NOT even close to BM's "Swiss Coffee" btw.) Personally, I think matching the trim is the way to go with the traditional, clean lines of a painted white kitchen. Good luck to you! PS. The blue tape in the photo is marking areas the GC still has to deal with. We redid our entire house and had a TERRIBLE painting crew!!! They got paint on the floors, faucets, sinks, toilets, new doorknobs, etc., etc. AND they DIDN'T paint the tops of ANY doors, any tops of door trim, basically any place they had to get on a ladder to do, or any place they didn't think we'd notice. BEWARE your GC's "finishers"!!! Make sure they are experienced professionals and won't bring in a crew of day-laborers who can't speak English!...See MoreNeed help picking kitchen cabinet color
Comments (3)IMO the counter would be my first change , adding molding to the ceiling in that small space will feel like the cabinets are falling on your head. You do not show pics of the rest of the kitchen . But I would keep to one color fro the cabinets and if that counter has to stay then for sure no greige. If you are changing the sink you might have to really hunt for a sink that fits that cutout....See MoreNeed help picking cabinet color paint to go with dallas white granite
Comments (6)eld6161 It is like bright white and so are the baseboards, crown molding and stairs that go up right beside the kitchen as well as all of our doors. Our house is open concept, so all of our space is like one big room. :( freedomplace1....thanks so much for those suggestions. Will definitely get samples to try in our space!...See MoreRelated Professionals
