IKEA Sektion Bodbyn kitchen with Revere Pewter walls?
Comments (1)It is so hard to tell via computer, since color rendering can be erratic, but the 2 greys don't seem to be compatible to me -- I know it would bother me. Bodbyn seems cooler/bluer than Revere Pewter. Can you take a sample of the paint to Ikea to compare to the cabinet?...See More1970's Kitchen Reveal: Modern w/ touch of rustic IKEA Sektion Bodbyn
Comments (24)Thank you everyone for your comments. It has been such a journey, but so glad we did it. @practigal I sure did! we had around 30 cabinets total or so. @Karenseb I actually am not sure what was used for lighting or power exactly. The electrician provided them, but they look pretty standard. Here is a picture. Sorry for the poor quality. I am pretty excited. I just ordered a bunch of reclaimed black walnut to wrap the brick wall in and to add some floating shelves to the right of the exterior kitchen door. It looks like this:...See MoreGRIMSLÖV (foil) or BODBYN (painted) - Ikea kitchen help
Comments (52)We went with the all white grimslov and we absolutely love them. We've had the kitchen for about 6 months now so obviously not a long time but the cabinets are fabulous. They clean really easily but I do need to clean them a lot more than my last kitchen's cabinets! Sometimes we'll get something like pasta sauce on them and when I clean it off it looks like it leaves a kind of residue or stain but I keep cleaning and it goes away, so I guess you just have to be diligent about that. They show dirt really easily, like dirty hands definitely leave marks, but again I just clean them more often. We don't have kids but we aren't gentle on our cabinets. I have 3 cats and they love to stretch up and let me know they are next to me while I'm cooking, and they destroyed our last kitchen cabinets-accidentally of course-just resting their claws on the top of the cabinets. We are trying to break them of this habit but they still do it occasionally and there is not a single tiny scratch on any of the cabinets. Everything else about them, we love. We got the tall cabinets and love all the space. The slow closes are amazing. And I know putting it all together sounds daunting but we actually thought it was fairly easy. The cover panels were by far the biggest headache, and putting the metal rail on uneven walls. But the actual putting together of each box was easy if you've put together furniture before. we got all 1 drawer + 1 door cabinets, (not all drawers like is popular), and the drawers were bigger than expected.. taller if that makes sense. So wasted space in the height of the drawer- not sure if that makes sense. So a few weeks later we installed ikeas drawers within a drawer and absolutely LOVE them. Ikea was great about everything too, though I was on hold for like an hour 3 or 4 times due to missing items. That was fun. But they were always super nice and when we returned things we didn't need, no questions or anything. lets see, I think that's about it! Any other questions I'd be happy to answer....See MoreBest White/Off-White to Compliment White Limestone Fireplace
Comments (14)I painted some samples next to the fireplace: Cloud White, White Dove, SW Aesthetic White, SW Greek Villa, Cloud Cover, and Sea Pearl. I am currently leaning toward Sea Pearl, I'm hoping it doesn't look too dark after it's all painted. Any thoughts on which color is working best with the stone? thanks!...See MoreBeverlyFLADeziner
