Sorry if my post implied that I was considering painting the granite. I would never do that. The cabinets are what may be painted. I wanted to know what the granite was referred as so I can search for photo ideas but I guess you confirmed that it can be referenced by multiple names.

It's definitely Tan Brown.

I think there is no way to know what that stone is and really why does it matter . I need to see your ktichen to comment on the whole painting thing. My opinion about painting cabinets is that unless you have lots of experience painting cabinets they never look perfect when DIYed and the paint to use is really a huge issue. The doors and drawer fronts need to be sprayed and that require a place dust free to do it right . So post pics of your space and start there,

Please post pics of your kitchen. We will advise you as to best next steps. Yes that’s tan brown. I personally think it looks better with wood cabinets or black cabinets but depends on the wood/cab style. I find when it’s paired with white cabinets it looks clunky and heavy. Good lighting and correct floor and backsplash may be what’s needed but hard to know without pics.

Thanks all. Here are some pics. Just a few points, we are looking to replace the doors and draw fronts and paint outer visible areas. We did get an initial price to gut the entire kitchen and redo everything but we are just looking to freshen things up in preparation for selling the house. We don’t think a total redo is a wise investment in the area we currently live in. We’re also doing other work, replacing flooring throughout and removing popcorn ceilings.

As mentioned, the floors are being redone throughout the home. By the way, what floor color do you guys suggest. We are looking at vinyl flooring.

I agree. Clean it, price correctly and move on. You could sell ice to an Eskimo right now, get the house listed before it changes.

Thanks for all your input. We would likely not be moving for another 2yrs. Yes, it’s certainly a frenzy which makes it very difficult to find a home before you’re outbid.

I agree with the above comments to strike while the iron is hot and sell your home in this current seller’s market without spending much to fix it up. My area is seeing homes that haven't been updated one bit since the ’80s or ’90s going under contract within a couple days of being listed. I was just with a friend at an open house in a great neighborhood, but the house was a mess. They didn't even make the beds or clean up the dirty dishes for the open house. It went under contract the next day.

^^^Lol!! Rental property is just as scarce as housing. And try renting a storage unit, they’re all full too! You cant even buy an RV or a camper, and if you did find one, you couldnt buy a truck to haul it.

Try buying a house or renting an apartment. It’s a mess. I’ll wait it out.

This is one kind of tan brown granite
