Painted cabinet issues- matching questions
Comments (3)Well, contractors of any kind may insist on using their favorite products because they have tried them all already and know which are the true winners. Also, what if he switches products and there is some kind of learning curve involved? It's true that every paint manufacturer makes a paint appropriate for use on cabinets, but that doesn't mean they are all good. As for painting one room all the same color, the walls are not going to match the cabinets no matter what because of lighting and shadows and because one surface is cabinet and one surface is wall. If the color match isn't quite perfect, it's not going to matter. As for color matching in general, it's somewhat of an inexact science, but for most customers, close is good enough. You should be able to ask to approve the color match before proceeding with the work though. In fact, if I run into a customer that I can sniff out is going to be particular about the exactness of the color match, I will make them sign off on the match before painting anything....See MoreNeed help matching kitchen colour choices
Comments (5)rebunky I just now saw your pics. I love the picture that you had saved for awhile. My island cabinets are very similar to the blue in that picture :) It's been scrunch time and I've spent the last two days going nuts trying to figure out my counters! I think I've come to a decision for the island counter top. I've decided like the look of ceaserstone more than granite and love the Bianco Drift. I think it will be a really good match for the blue island. I need to go and get a physical sample though to make sure the two do really go well together. Here it is: As for the perimeter... I don't know yet. Maybe I'll stick to the same....See MoreTo match or not match.. kitchen appliances?
Comments (12)They don't "need" to match -- but most people want them to match. You can keep all your current choices and change the white refrigerator so it will match. Alternately, you can go with all stainless but not the same brand. If you want a specific brand of refrigerator, you can add a covering to a white refrigerator -- all around or just the front if there will be walls to the left and right of the refrigerator -- to give it the stainless steel look. There are You Tube vids on this and, if properly done, they look really good. If there are walls to either left or right, make sure they don't extend out beyond refrigerator door hinges and/or that you have enough room between the front of the refrigerator and any island or other cabinets to pull the refrigerator out far enough for the doors to open fully so you can remove the veggie drawers for cleaning. Make sure you insulate the wall between the built in ovens and the refrigerator next to it so the heat doesn't keep your refrigerator running more than necessary....See MoreLarge fur down/soffit kitchen painting issue & color trim yes or no?
Comments (3)I would paint the soffit and the trim the wall color .Are you painting those cabinets yourself? I do not think they are worth having painterd professionaly so they need to be very well prepped which will incluse stripping and sanding they are at an age where the grease from the kitchen will have impregnated the finish , it will be a huge job but will certainly be an improvement until you can afford a redo. I think a color fot them might be better than white like a pale green maybe....See MoreHolger Bach
