Painting Oak Kitchen cabinets - need help picking the color
Comments (7)This is timely because I have similar cabinets. I've been looking for whites that aren't too bright. I just got an estimate from a cabinet painter; his proposal included 2 coats of oil-based primer and then 2 coats of either oil or water-based paint. Here's what I've found in other threads: BM Linen White: SW Alabaster: SW Casa Blanca: SW Dover White: Here is a link that might be useful: Instructions on painting cabinets...See MoreCabinets and counters picked out.

Comments (4)Thanks for the feedback! Anything with green isn't going into the house ;) I was looking at a beautiful mother of pearl quartzite slab and was ready say 'order it!', when the sales person commented on the lovely green tones in it. That comment sealed the deal on the taj mahal quartzite. The trio of samples are sitting in the morning sunshine today and I agree that they are too matchy. Guess I'll be taking them into the paint store for more samples.......See MoreHelp pick wall color for kitchen with oak cabinets and oak trim
Comments (6)The new lighting could effect the wall color and the color of the wood - so definitely do that first. Do some research into the lasting effects of gel stain - I've heard both good things and bad things. Here are just some unasked for thoughts- if I was working with this kitchen on a budget, I would possibly remove the upper trim piece and the small wood piece over the windows. I might remove the entire cabinet to the left of the farthest left window and replace with some shelves. I would remove the over the range microwave, which being short I could not even use, and replace with a stand alone vent. You could do a stainless vent for a more modern look. It is more expensive, but you could stain an unfinished wood hood with insert for a more farmhouse look. You have so much lower storage I actually would be tempted to remove all of the upper cabinetry - especially if there is a pantry cabinet - I was wondering where the fridge is - is there a pantry cabinet next to it? As far a curtains - I do like the softness and color window treatments add, though tis is a person style choice. This vent is a little larger than you would want: Less uppers - pretty window treatment: Rustic shelves: If you like a bit of country / farmhouse, beadboard makes an inexpensive backsplash and works well with shelves - rather than tiling, which might possibly need to be redone if you got new counters down the road. This is my basement kitchenette - done very economically with some of my original cabinets (refinished), shelving and beadboard - though in this case I used the beadboard wallpaper to save money - might replace with the real thing in time: https://www.houzz.com/photos/my-pics-work-in-progress-phvw-vp~65270573 My main kitchen is also oak and in my "my pics" idea book - if you want some possible ideas for counters/ backsplash / farm sink - but it is done in a vintage style....See Moreneed help picking out LVP flooring color and door abs trim color
Comments (13)You may need to unify some of your wood colors ... the proposed floors look beautiful... but you have too many wood colors already... white paint on all the trim and stairs would be a good start... then decide if doors should be white as well...it doesn’t look like you have an abundance of natural light... so more white will be better....leaving only cabinets and floors in wood finish will make them look more special...See Morelittlebug zone 5 Missouri
