White Macaubus for counter need help with the white for cabs...
Comments (7)I did white macaubas for my counters also. The white I am using for our walls is more of a creamy white called BM soft chamois (I did it at 75%). I haven't picked my cabinet white yet, but I am thinking of using BM cotton balls, which is sort of a pure soft white, not very creamy....See MoreIsland - white or stained? Floor/table dark wood, too. Help
Comments (6)it really is a personal preference, but i am doing my perimeter cabs in a cottage white with distressing and the island will be a tuscan sun cherry with distressing. i wanted to be safe at first and do it all white, but each time i flipped through a magazine my eye went to the contrasting color on the perimeter cabs and island. good luck with your decision; i don't think you can make a "wrong choice"....See MorePlease, please need help before it's too late
Comments (15)I agree that you need at least 12" of overhang (15" would be even better). What is the distance b/w the drawer bank & the table? Perhaps it's too narrow, as Morton5 mentioned. It does look kind of tight... If you decide to go ahead w/the 12", I guess I'd do one of three things.... have the seating overhang be 12" w/a 3" protrusion past the drawer bank (may be only option b/c of aisle). Rebuild the drawer base cabinet to be 15" wide. If you approved the 12" you'll probably have to pay...but if you pay the cabinetmaker directly you may not have to pay the KD...s/he should have at least told you that 15" is recommended for counter-height seating. Then, you could have made an informed decision on what you actually wanted. Pull the drawer bank out and have the 3" b/w the other cabinet in the island & drawer base. Then, put in a 3" filler pullout in that 3" space. Rev-A-Shelf as 3 different styles of base filler pullouts. (See link below.) Note: Filler Pullouts must be installed at the time of cabinet installation...not after the fact. HTH! Here is a link that might be useful: Filler Pull-Outs - Base...See Moreneed help! Glass white/ off white subway tile please
Comments (2)After seeing it here, I have fallen in love with the Grazia Melange subways, which have subtle shade variation within the tiles. The Milk blend looks weird on the info screen, but all the actual pics I've seen are really white or slightly warm. The grey blend is beautiful too, and I think it would look lovely with your counter and cabs. I did some googling and found it for sale online, I think it was $15-16/sf based on the per piece price.
