Please Advise on Kitchen Update Keeping Cabinets and Floor Unchanged
Comments (51)here is a couple of things that come to mind and are all my opinion 1- keep the oak. I replaced my fake oak with maple and it dings/dents like crazy. I am less than thrilled! in my defense my cabinets were not in great shape so replacing was my goal. I now wish I had gone with oak again 2- before you attempt to gel stain, use a bathroom cabinet as a trial. I stain a lot as we do tons of unfinished wood furniture and I find gel stain miserable to work with. I stick with minwax or another liquid stain. if your are a novice at staining wood, painting may be easier. also if your doors have a center veneer panel vs solid wood, I doubt it will take the stain well if at all. 3- I like your layout(kind of) the L shape gives you lots of prep between stove and sink so that's great. the fridge is a little awkward but not terrible. so getting new appliance would make a huge difference to the cook. 4- if you are concerned about budget, an expensive range hood may be too much especially if someone has to come in to create a vent to the outside. it is not popular here but I kept my otr micro that does not vent outside (for budget and convenience) and I like it just fine. I will say that I do not cook meat on the stove top so that can make a difference. 5- I love the orb/dark granite someone posted and it would give the oak a whole new look. plus you can always paint/stain them later so just chaining faucet,hardware and counter can be done first good luck!...See MoreWhat paint color and fixture trim for this almond bath update?
Comments (5)Love the flooring and vanity. I would use a neutral white for the walls and nickel hardware. In my experience, ORB needs to be wiped down after every use or it looks spotty. In addition, with the rest of your house in greys, I wouldn't go too brown in here. I agree with Sabrina Alfin Interiors, I would look for a soft blue or sage patterned shower curtain. Nothing too bold. Then some soft artwork to pull in the color of the shower curtain. Monroe Snowy Shower Curtain Etsy...See MorePainting white walls and white cabinets with existing granite. Help!
Comments (3)We went with Aged White by Sherwin Williams for walls and canvas tan for cabinets. I thought it might look too dark but since being painted I love how light it is. Next step... backsplash....See MoreCabinet Color - Keep or Paint?!
Comments (24)Good to know. Contractor paint bid for tomorrow is probably out then. I just got my painter bid in and it came in at $4,000. I’m glad it’s less than $5,000, but also worried because Beth and Artistsharonva mentioned it should cost over $5k. This cabinet painter was referred by my realtor who has seen his work and has had a number of her clients use him, but still unsure now! I still have to see before and afters of his work. Also- the consensus seems to be to leave them as-is. So my husband will probably do the first cartwheel of his life and I might be changing my mind. I agree the scroll on the hood has to go. I think the hood is made of wood. It has a faux paint finish in a different color brown than the cabinets. Here is a pic of it more up close with the cabinet color trim at the top. I have put my nail to the scroll and think it might come up. Will ask the contractor tomorrow if it can be removed. Think I will start with a new backsplash and hood color like suggested. My husband is married to the island granite and it won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. Any suggestions for the hood paint color?! Thinking ivory white tiles for the backsplash. Think that is fine? The light green paint idea for the island would go well with our kitchen, but probably not our overall home with our furnishings. A pic of our family room would be very helpful too. Will post tmrw or the next day!...See Morewislawcat
