Paint Advice For Kitchen With Maple Cabinets and Oak Floors

RE: Paint Advice For Kitchen With Maple Cabinets and Oak Flo Post By Philip (Guest Post) (06/03/2008) We are currently searching for granite countertops to go with our maple cabinets and oak floors. I really like the tropical brown granite look. Can you email me a picture of your remodeled kitchen so I can have an idea of what it will look like. Please send it to milestonetherapy AT juno.com. Thank you so much:) Report Spam or Abuse what color goes with tabacco road Post By fran (Guest Post) (11/10/2007) We just painted our living room in Tobacco Road. We then papered the dining room with a paper that matched the living room. We are about to paint the family room. I don't know if that is to much of the same color. You can see all the rooms from the family room. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Paint Advice For Kitchen With Maple Cabinets and Oak Flo Post By Lisa J. (Guest Post) (09/14/2007) I'm afraid I'm having a similar problem in my kitchen. I just purchased a wonderful home that just needs cosmetic updating. The kitchen cabinets are very high quality custom cabinets and in great condition so I definitely want to keep them. However, they are a light colored natural maple wood that turns PINK! I am having the worst time trying to find a paint color that goes with these cabinets! I feel like I'm living in the Barbie kitchen! I'm seriously considering having them painted but it's a lot of work and I was hoping that I could find a wall color that would take the light pink shade out of these cabinets. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Lisa J.

I like Tobacco Road by Sherwin Williams (old color, will probably have to ask for it). I also like Whole Wheat by Sherwin Williams.

With the maple color running through it. I thought it would be really dark. But it isn't. The color I have chosen for the walls is a yellow, much like a butternut squash color, with a lighter yellow on the ceiling. It has warmed my woods and brightened the kitchen. I chose a beautiful green quartz counter top. And my accents are a burgundy. I am very happy with the results.

I bought a sample bottle of the sherwood green and I don't like it. Then I went to a local paint store with my samples of wood and granite and they suggested a cream color wall. I have decided this would go well and it would show off the new cabinets. I could add accent colors with flowers, paintings and seat cushions. I still haven't decided on a dinette set.

I'd also choose something light because it sounds like everything else in your kitchen is dark. Maybe white, cream, tan, or grey (I'd pick white). I don't know what color Sherwood green is, but it sounds wonderfully foresty with all the wood in your kitchen. You might want to get a small container of paint and paint a large visible section to see how that will feel before deciding. Or if you have a sheet, blanket, tablecloth or some other big thing in a similar color, have someone hold that up against the wall to see if it feels too dark or anything. Make sure the color you choose goes with other things you will have like curtains and pictures. One thing I noticed once about glass tables while watching a movie is that you can see through them to people's laps, so you can see them fidgiting and stuff. I wonder if anyone makes stainless steel tables. You could get a table with tile matching your backsplash (easy if you choose white tile). Or you could start using tablecloths on a wood table.

It will brighten up the room, provide a nice contrast for the wood, and just look fresh. Besides, should you decide to do something like add fabric, anything will match the white walls. Be sure you use a kitchen paint. They are designed to make it easier to wash the walls. The problem with using other colors is that you easily get cooking splatters and grease all over the place, and it is far easier to over look the dirt when the color isn't as obvious or bright as white. Besides, with all that gorgeous wood, why would you want to use a color that would wind up playing down the beauty of the wood. I used to like off white, but for some reason, as it ages, it starts to turn browner, and looks really awful in a very short period of time! Report Spam or Abuse
