We have decided to get countertops first! However, what do you guys think about SW Pure White Walls with BM Paper White cabinets? Will it be tacky, is it enough contrast to look good together or should we stick with everything being Pure White. BM Paper White on the walls in the picture. This would be on our cabinets. SW Pure White on the cabinets in the picture. This is on our walls. Thoughts?

The first thing I would do is get a counter depth fridge in that small space and since the space is tiny I think the same as the walls could be a good idea. I certainly would not have done black appliances and with the new cabinet color they will even be more of an issue so think a lot about this change.

are you painting those cabinets or getting new ones? Painting? why is the backsplash being done before the cabs? now you're stuck w/the bright white (which I don't think was the best match w/that countertop. ) I would have done white cabinets and Kendall Charcoal on your walls. The floor and tile would have popped w/that wall color. (you still can redo the walls with it. I think it will look better than a bright white. Kendall or Chelsea are warmer grays that would look beautiful w/your wood, the floors and the white. get a sample and just try it on one wall. (you're taking that tile up to the ceiling, yes?) Please, no boob light! gave you a nice flush mount. Who is painting the cabinets? Honestly? I'd keep the cabs as is and get a new countertop (and a diff ceiling light!) You'll spend at least 5K getting those painted (please use a pro cabinet painter and not the house painter guy! ) so take that money and get a lighter counterotop. You could find cheaper replacements if you went w/a pre-fab countertop. they come in quartz, granite, whatever. find a soft, grayish/white quartz, or a creamier white/w/a soft gray undertone. You plan on keeping these floors for a long time? No need picking colors that work w/that floor if you plan on changing it in the next year or so. But, if not possible, pull a light silver gray from the floor and those counters and use that shade. or do a grayish white. lets see the countertop close up Try a sample of these and see how they look w/the other two elements

See Kylie M's discussion of Antique White: https://www.kylieminteriors.ca/paint-colour-review-sherwin-williams-antique-white-sw-6119/ After you read that if you decide on a direction and still need more help, update your post. It would also help if you posted pictures of your space (enough for us to see what your style is). If you already know that you want a neutral, blue, green or whatever let us know. You'll see from Kylie's blog post that AW is not the easiest trim color to work with. When you're thinking about a direction to go in you need to be considering the fixed elements in the room(s) you will be painting such as flooring or cabinets if you're including your kitchen or a bathroom.
