Does anyone have white windows/trim AND stained interior doors?
Comments (21)nepool, I love the picture in your first post. That door is beautiful and it looks so nice with the wood floor and the whole room. Are cased windows something a lot of people do? We have never had cased windows. Of course we have a window sill but not cased. Maybe it's a regional thing. Since you have stained trim maybe you can answer a questions for me. I am concerned that if I do all stained that it will limit paint choices in the future. My house has all white except the kitchen cabinets. I remember when we painted the kitchen having to find a color that went with the cabinet color (some stains have more red or yellow in them). My sister has stained trim and doors (in her words, ugly stained trim) and when she painted a room and didn't think about the trim and the dark blue doesn't look like she had expected next to the dark trim. I have a dark blue room with white trim and the contrast is striking. We don't even have a floor plan yet and these details are driving me crazy....See MoreAnyone have pictures of med dark Minwax stained floors?
Comments (13)This post is too scary! I am getting my floors refinished soon, along with new kitchen and study cabinets. I am also trying to decide between Special Walnut and Dark Walnut. The floor color depends on new kitchen cabinet colors, and vice versa... Positano - Could you post a picture of your Special Walnut? Josie - I LOVE your kitchen, it is exactly what I am trying to accomplish, from the white cabs and kahki granite, down to the subway tile backsplash and drawer pulls! We must be linked in some way. Dark Walnut was my first instinct until I thought of getting an island in a very dark, almost black, finish then Special Walnut would balance it out a bit. If you have more kitchen pics, I'd love to see them! What is your granite color? I'm afraid of going to pink or gold. I'm lazy and going to Home Depot for everything. ; ) Thanks- Stacey...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 MoreDoes anyone have Cambria Summerhill with stained cabinets?
Comments (13)No, It is the same as Summerhill but doesn't have the grey vein running thru it which has the sparkles. When I ordered samples I ordered the 12×12 as it gives you a better sample. If your near Hastings, MN you could come see it installed ὠ9. I have a huge kitchen; I was worried I would get too much gray as stained cabinets is my primary focus. Thus the reason I used both; seeing it now installed. It was a homerun! If I was going with only one and stained cabinets. I would definitely choose PendleHill....See More

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!Sheila Kelly
