Help Kitchen cabinet colors BM cream froth or BM cloud white
Comments (1)I hired a color specialist and she recommended BM Ivory White. Not too white, not too yellow or pink, but it is an off white, creamy - not stark white. She also recommended painting all of our trim in our house the same BM ivory white. Granted, she saw pictures of our house. She has an entire blog dedicated to white cabinets and the right white that you might find helpful. http://colourmehappyblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/white-kitchen-cabinets.html We're really happy with the ivory white as it goes with the rest of our house. Good luck!...See MoreNeed photos of cream/off-white inset timeless kitchens
Comments (35)[moan] oooooooooooooOOOOOooo I cannot wait until I can afford to retrofit the cabinets I have to inset doors and drawers. I absolutely love the look and feel. I now know why for 6 years I couldn't pick a cabinet door. Nothing spoke to me. So I started to settle. That EVIL "s" word. But I have plans. Always plans. Not necessarily white for me, but all these cabinets are SO beautiful! :) Thanks for the dream material Christine...See MoreI need help picking wall colors with cream cabinets
Comments (14)Congrats on your new home purchase! Once the terracotta walls are primed and not reflecting you will be able to really pick a nice color to compliment. Your cream cabinets have a lot of red undertones which can read a little on the pink side. The wood on the island and floor also have peachy or orangey tone. So I would avoid like the plague anything with a yellow, green, or blue undertone as that will just make the pink/peach stand out even more. Since the crown molding and trim looks a very bright blue based white, I think you definitely should paint them a neutral white. I liked the SW pure white, but I'd wait until you pick the main wall color. Whatever brand you look at just look for colors that say they are a neutral. I have been searching myself for a nice neutral wall color all day. It's tough! I was at SW, and liked either Repose gray or Agreeable gray from them. They really are not a true gray color like I think of "gray". I'm not a gray fan, but I do like a neutral "greige" as they call it. Both of those colors have a brown taupe undertone. I always look at the deepest shade on the color swatch to see what I'm dealing with. If it is really yellow or green khaki or blue I'd rule those ones out. Hope this helps. I'm no expert so take that fwiw! Ha! Oh and if you are drawn to a touch of gray which has purple undertones, or are interested in a richer more deep color you might like weimeraner. But actually I think anything with purples might pop the peach wood. Oh this one will be a challenge, but I know it will be great! Once you prime your walls, if you want to repost a new picture, I can try to do a mockup for you. Best wishes....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 MorePam K
