Elaine Simmons on Oct 11, 2014Which do you like better? That decision would be your personal preference. I love the white cabinets you see now but that is only my opinion........yours might be different. Go with what YOU like!Helpful Reply

Kelly S on Oct 11, 2014I would paint them one color for the top cabinets and a different color for the bottom. They could be in the same color family with the darker color on bottom or complimentary colors. What is the flooring that should help you decide.Helpful Reply

Donatile Quartararo Ruscito on Oct 11, 2014To Kelly S. It will be tile with the wood floor look, most likely a dark oak color. I like the painted idea, it's the color that is getting to me. My table and chairs are washed out blue with a maple top. To Elaine, I had white cabinets in Florida and want to stay away from that particular color.Helpful Reply

Lisa on Oct 12, 2014I'd go with wood or painted bases and have the upper cabinets either have glass doors or chicken wire with gathered fabric backing, getting the whole look to be more like furniture pieces than modern cupboards. I've seen this done and it really looks awesome and would fit in with your design style. You can add "feet" and corbels to add to the furniture piece look.Helpful Reply

Bess W on Jan 22, 2016I am planing the same thing. I want black cabinets, with very distressed edges. To add light to the space I am putting in a skylight. My biggest dilemma is what material and color for counter tops. I am considering butcher block but may be too much wood. Any suggestions?Helpful Reply
