Finished picture? Why some cabinet doors were left on. Would u do more or less now? I'm concern about dust? I Live in a High Industrial area. ( pray) My kitchen is a 1978's solid fruit wood wood cab. 5x7 floor area, small u shape. butch block laminate. - no windows ugh... We were thinking of Bright white for frame and a light beige cabs. and doors. Its a constant battle to keep closed. i.e. why asking which to take off. Counter top thinking about the Rustoleum sp taupe series. (white, beige and blk specks.) I really like your color combo. makes me wonder if I choosing the right colors. I'll only do this once ( health and age). Any thoughts?? Vickie vmnd@swbell.net. Be Blessed
