Oh, Sandy…I’m so glad you decided to keep your cabinets unpainted and not to invest in new. They just don’t make them like they used to! Back in 1990, I talked my MIL out of re-doing her entire kitchen cabinetry. She had SOLID wood cabinets that were beautiful inside and out! As the saying goes, they “had good bones” and just needed to be refinished. She was so happy with the team that refinished them. She went with solid surfacing as well…Corian was all the rage in the early ’90s! She went with ivory…with no particulate. Her kitchen looked lovely and I just know you will love yours! Did you go with the Milky Way solid surfacing as shown in the sample above? Or, are you going all white? I guess I’ll know soon, LOL! So much fun! Thanks for sharing, girl. Can’t wait to see the big reveal! xo

Sandy, I am curious so see your kitchen transformation. As various things, you have told to do in your kitchen and that are very excited. I liked this project and I am also thinking to redecorate my kitchen. Thanks for this inspire.

I’m so excited to see the results. Our kitchen cabinets are the same color as yours and our kitchen needs paint! I can’t wait to see how your colors look up against the nice, warm cabinets. I’d also love a backsplash. If we could get it from Lowes and do it ourselves, it could be in our budget.

Timely question! We just bought a house and the kitchen is all country-style wallpaper and oak. Which is maybe the exact opposite of my style :) I’m thinking of painting the cabinets some shade of white (only because I don’t want to do it again before we remodel, and I think white matches a lot) and light to medium blue (maybe with a hint of green?) on the walls. Looking forward to seeing what you do, I’m excited to get some good ideas!

I’m having a new home built and I sure bucked a trend. DARK cabinets and DARK wood floors. Probably about as dark as the cabinets and trim I spent years painting over in the home I just sold. I loved the cabinets I had left that were an off white but wasn’t sure I wanted to go that route again. SO was beyond pleased that I actually loved one of their standard finishes; a maple without any stain. I think the dark is as trendy as white…so decided to go the natural wood route and glad to see I’m not alone! Can’t wait to see the finished project.

The pendant lights you picked for your island would look great in my kitchen. We are getting ready to do some work and pendant lights are on the list. Do you have a name for those, or a link? I couldn’t find them when I looked on Lowe’s site. Thanks!!
