Does anyone have stained trim anymore?
Comments (18)Here is a sample of our trim. I have enjoyed the look and low maintenance of wood trim for the past 20 years. I'm embarassed to admit, I've only thoroughly washed it a few times, if that, over the past 20 years. My routine has been to vacuum it when dusty looking, and for the most part it has always looked fine. I love the look of painted trim also! We are in the process of putting on a 940 sq ft addition and we plan on painting most of the new woodwork. Wood trim original house and painted in new add on . . . what do you think? Make sense? The addition includes expanding and updating the kitchen. I'm planning on going white trim, hardwood floors, and a combination of wood and painted cabinets. The same for the mudroom/butler's pantry area right off of the kitchen. Lots of beadboard, white subway tiles . . . you probably know the look all too well. Good luck with your decision and post lots of photos. Here is a link that might be useful: Wood Trim...See MoreDoes anyone have pics of painted Island with stained perimeter?
Comments (18)I struggled with this exact same dilema. Most of the two tone kitchens have light perimeter and dark island. The style of my house and surrounding furniture does not really support the look of so much light cabinetry. But I also didn't want an all dark cabinet kitchen. I began searching desperately for pictures in magazines and as I looked I began to find a few and they were beautiful! Then Sharon1 posted pictures of her kitchen and she had the exact same color scheme I had just ordered and I thought it was gorgeous! It was a huge load off my back. My perimeter is a dark stain rustic beech and my island is a creamy glaze. I haven't picked countertops yet - I don't know what I want to do yet. I think the reason you see my light perimeters is that it keeps the kitchen light and airy and a dark island looks more like a piece of furniture. Flipping it is less common, but it is still beautiful. I wish I had pictures, but I'm a DIY project under construction! :-) I also searched for Sharon1 and all her pictures fell of the forum, which is a bummer. I couldn't find her in the FKB either - she must not have posted there. I'm sorry to not be more help visually. But hopefully I've reassured you that many of us have done the very color scheme you are considering!...See MoreMirror Backsplash - does anyone have a picture?
Comments (8)Annab - I am sorry to say this, but my old kitchen's mirrored backsplash was the first thing I couldn't wait to rip out. I hope I haven't offended you, but the purpose of this forum is to share our experiences, and perhaps help people in their kitchen decisions. I strongly disliked the mirrored backsplash because (A) it only stayed clean-looking for about 1 minute. It's called a "backsplash" because, well, things splash on it, and the mirror shows, and reflects, every drop of spatter, grease, even water drops. (B) As Khat mentioned, and I will emphasize, the backsplash just became a reflection of everyone's torsoes. So every time you or family members walked around the kitchen, you saw torsoes. And because the torsoes weren't balanced by seeing the rest of the body, any, ahem, imperfection, was magnified. For small children, you just saw floating heads. (3) No offense, but my old kitchen was circa 1991 - it was my understanding that mirrored backsplashes were a late '80's-early '90's look. I know trends come and go and we shouldn't be a slave to them, but still I need to mention that the look can be considered by some to be dated. As you can tell, I didn't like my old mirrored backsplash, to such a degree that I felt compelled to tell you why. Sorry....See MoreDoes anyone have Ultracraft cabinets that they can post pictures of?

last yearI was having issues posting from my phone so now I'm on my laptop and for some reason under a different user name. Anyway, thank you all for your input. I was able to get a rendering from my KD with the saddle stain. The countertop is not that color though - we will be going with Calacatta Miraggio Gold quartz which is much whiter and should brighten it up more. Haven't made the final decisions on backsplash but will definitely be in the white variety. We're also putting in four recessed LED lights and most likely a pendant over the sink - still thinking on that part, but there will be light over the sink.
Below is a better picture of the floor sample with Saddle and Barley.
I'm still thinking Saddle is the obvious choice, but what about Barley for the uppers? I'd still leave the base cabinets and the cabinets surrounding the oven and refrigerator saddle since they meet with the floor.
If not Barley, maybe Shortbread? I don't have a sample, but below is from Kraftmaid's site. I've also posted the Saddle and Barley for reference since colors can look different in different light.
I've never been a fan of the two-tone in the past, but I think that is because most of them are white on top and to me it just looks a little unfinished. No judgement against anyone who has done this - I'm the same way about white cars. I have issues, I know.
Anyway, the two-tone is growing on me - probably from seeing so much of it on this site. I don't know anyone personally who has done the two tone so it's a newer concept to me. I've tried searching this site for inspiration photos, but most of them are a mix of painted and stained cabinets or have just the island a different stain. My kitchen is small and we do not have an island. Does the two-tone work better with larger kitchens? Or does it not work well with two kinds of stain?
If anyone has any pictures of a kitchen with dark wood stained lowers and and a light wood stained uppers would you mind posting? I'd like to get an idea how it would look in real life. I know I can ask my KD to re-color the rendering, but real life pictures are always better IMO.
Any input or suggestions are greatly appreciated - even if you think I'm off my rocker for even considering this!- last year
