Help on deciding what color to paint kitchen cabinets
Comments (11)You are lucky that your cabinets are not honey oak, that orange builder-grade color. Yours actually look like they have a nice dark stain. Painting, prep, etc is a lot of work. Your other finishes are nice too, dark pulls, pretty granite. Would you consider just doing a very pretty light backsplash? If you do go with paint, be sure to use BM cabinet coat. It will help cover the grain, though probably not all. There are many posts here on GW to help you with the process. With your brown granite you might look at BM Bone White. If you are looking for whites, lean toward the warmer whites. Here is a link that might be useful: [Kitchen with BM Bone White[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/kitchen-traditional-kitchen-minneapolis-phvw-vp~363542)...See MoreNew kitchen cabinets, what paint do you recommend for best finish
Comments (7)I used Cabinet Coat. You can special order it from any Ace hardware store. I researched the web extensively and heard nothing but praises for this paint. I originally wanted to use oil paint for its durability, but wanted water-based for ease of application. I chose Cabinet Coat because it is supposed to give a very durable finish, but doesn't yellow as oil does. So far I am extremely pleased with its nice finish and durability and plan to use it not only for my cabinets, but for all the woodwork in my house as I go along....See MoreHELP!

Comments (12)paint the uppers only, a white or mushroom....[putty]…..I think the bottom cabinet area will work with the floor then. The layer of wood cabinetry on the walls is very "heavy" , visually.....regardless of what floor exists. A change at eye level[walls] will change things in a big way. And the wood cabinets lower down will actually be good, as an "anchor" for your space. And get some runners/mats. You lack base drawers..at some point a replacement will come into your discussions..... so extra trouble of painting them isn't worth it....See Morewhat is the best white paint color for kitchen cabinets???
Comments (2)Depends on whether you want a warmer undertone or a more grayer one. I like BM Mayonnaise, Chantilly Lace for an ivory look. Simply white for a really white look, and Benj Moore OC-17 White dove for a slightly grayer undertone white. Bring your counter, tile,etc to your local paint shop and get help looking at it under natural light. Or call a designer!...See MoreJora
