One more CC fan here, though I realize you asked for a comparison. Just finished painting a raw wood bathroom vanity that my husband built, with CC tinted Benjamin Moore Simply White. Agree with other posters that the prep and sanding between coats is critical. I used a 4" purdy angled brush to cut in and a foam roller for the flat surfaces. The first coat soaked it up like a sponge (and a very expensive way to prime I might add). Next time I might use a less expensive product for the priming stage. I sanded with 220 between coats, tacked off dust and ultimately gave it 3 coats . I plan on using it for the matching linen cabinet he made us as well as the board and batten trim in our bathroom. I live in NC (near Raleigh) and was able to purchase this at a local store that carries Benjamin Moore paints (BM now owns Cabinet Coat/Insl-x products). Hope this helps - good luck!

The plywood sides you added are going to be in the way of a European hinge working. If you shop online for concealed hinges, every product is going to have a diagram showing the relationship of the door to the cabinet box or faceframe. Not ever one is capable of envisioning the relationships in their head. Using the original hinge is going to save a lot of time and trial & error until you figure it out (or realize it's impossible to do). Might help to see the door, see the edge detail, see how it fits the opening. Casey

Cabinets are permanently installed built in obstacles. All floating floors should go around built ins, with an expansion gap, not under them. Only permanently fastened floors like wood or tile go under cabinets. The cabinets themselves need to be shimmed to the finished floor height, as that finished floor is the basis of all room measurements.

We love Swiss Coffee and Natural Cream, and with that tone of wood, you can’t go wrong with either. And honestly, the slab you choose for your counters and the type of backsplash you choose can greatly impact your cabinets. White kitchens aren’t ever going out of style, but choosing the right paint can feel overwhelming, especially when white wasn’t on your shortlist for cabinet colors. We have a post with our favorite white kitchen cabinet paint colors if that helps you narrow down your choice, but in the meantime, rest assured that any of those samples you have will be a beautiful white for your kitchen cabinets.
