white vs. 'öff white'cabinets in kitchen
Comments (9)I don't know if you've checked out the finished kitchen blog, but you can search by different categories - there are not too many that have both white/cream cabinets and buther block, but there are a few: http://delicious.com/starpooh/b2:Cabinet_Finish:Painted+b3%3ACabinet_Color%3AWhite%2FCream+c2%3ACounter_nonGranite%3AWood%3AButcherblock;_ylt=A0wNBsHmgyRK.GoB3XthRh54;_ylv=3 Some only have bb on one part of CT. Others only have painted cabinets on some cabinets (like an Island), but at least it gives you a visual. The finished kitchen blog is a great resource because there are so many REAL LIFE kitchens. It reminded me - you don't have to stick to cream/off white - you could get adventurous and do a color. Check out Pammo's kitchen with the green island. It's really sharp. Here is a link that might be useful: kitchens with painted white/cream cabinets and butcher block CT...See MoreNeed help matte vs satin white cabinets for stain resistance
Comments (14)"They will be shop painted - not on site That's better, right?" Peacecorp: It is all in the look (and budget) that you are after, site painted has its place for sure....some of the highest end (priced) brands are all site painted. The look is certainly not for everyone, but I don't think that this is one of those situations where one is better then the other Because it is shop painted, the more important question to ask him is what type of finish is he using...based on your description of his shop I am assuming that he is not using a BM paint out of the can, he will be making the color of your choice in a something in either a water base or solvent based lacquer... If it were me I would be asking what the make up of the finish is that he is using...ideally you would want a post-catalyzed finish or maybe a high performance acrylic urethane Samples for sure can be a pain from the shop, it is not like going to the paint store and ordering a sample size and brushing it on...this is all hand made, with dry times between priming, painting and top coating...See Morepainted white vs stained cabinets & cleaning them
Comments (0)We're planning to remodel our kitchen and will be tearing out the white kitchen cabinets that were "on-site" built and are now falling apart. I like the look of white cabinets, but I don't like trying to keep them looking nice and clean. We have oak kitchen floors, stained a light golden honey color. When we first built the house 25 years ago, I thought I had to have white cabinets as a contrast to the wooden floors and that's why we originally went with painted cabinets. Now with the remodeling before us, I've been considering switching to stained, but am concerned about choosing a stain color that will complement the flooring. 'Seems most people are building with white cabinets these days and if they do have stained finishes, their floors are tiled. Am I making a mistake to consider stained cabinets with my oak floors? Any advice, thoughts, etc. are welcome. WIth only hubby and myself now living in the house, white cabinets might not be so hard to keep clean... except there are all of the visiting grandchildren who we dearly love! I'd also considered a compromise of mixing stained with painted cabinets. Ours is a large u-shaped kitchen with 2 islands. The only natural light comes from a large window over the kitchen sink....See MoreKitchen - Paint vs Gel Stain vs Rustoleum Cabinet Transformations
Comments (16)I had a horrible experience with a General Finish paint several years ago. Their customer service was rude, told me their product was wonderful, and it was my own fault. And then took the product off the market within a year. Stuff I've used of theirs that wasn't utter garbage wasn't fantastic. So, I'm skeptical when anyone raves about their gel stain. The Rustoleum includes all the products you need for every technique, even if you don't need them for the look you're going for. That makes them really expensive if you don't need all the products. I have used BM Advance paint on cabinets and furniture (and doors and trim) and been very happy at a fraction of what the Rustoleum stuff costs. The caveat though is that it takes a LONG time for the paint to cure fully. Like, several weeks. It'll be dry to the touch in a few hours, but it can scratch off if you bump it before it's fully cured....See MoreRelated Professionals
