Re do log home kitchen cabinets

Nancy Gramm on Aug 25, 2014It would be great if you showed some pics, Mary. Your house sounds lovely, as does the idea of painting your cabinets. IMHO trends change so much and yesterday's look can be so dating that, if I were you, I'd go with something not trendy, like, I dunno, maybe metal: copper or tin. (I was gonna say barn wood but that might be just as trendy.) Years ago, we remodeled our lakefront house and vented our stove out the roof (since it didn't back up to a wall and the hub insisted it be vented outside). There was a distance between the top of the cabinet and the ceiling and rather than have a bare pipe I covered it with copper flashing. The price of copper has risen dramatically since so copper flashing or roofing might not work for you but how about tin ceiling tiles? Or even tin flashing? BTW I think you meant to respond to someone else's post. You might go back and pose your question there in order to get a response.Helpful Reply

Liliana Wells on Aug 26, 2014At first, I would change the hardware. It's quick and an instant update. Then sleep on redoing the cabinets, as you look through the numerous redo that people on Hometalk have done. Something will strike you and a light bulk will go off to tell you it's time to do it. There is nothing wrong in having an island that does not match the rest of kitchen. Whatever you decide, don't paint the cabinets black. Frankly, it will make it look like you are trying to hide dirt. I don't see black as being organic or eclectic. Good luck.Helpful Reply
