We have white kitchen cabinets and covered an entire wall in our laundry room with the same type white cabinets. We were told by the sale people who installed both the original and additional cabinets that the white cabinets were an upgrade? They are very easy to maintain and brighten the kitchen
I prefer white because of the Florida location and at our location the house is situated and built such that we do not get direct sunlight which pleases me because we can better regulate our inside temperature However my favorite look is colonial and especially South Carolina colonial. And so if I had settled there then the cabinets would have been wood |

Country Oak......along with "country clutter". The look desired by many making a new start here is more "sleek" with simple lines (no carving) and high-quality materials. The heavy grained oak with medium orangy stain looks antique-y. |

Our preference when we purchased our new Ranch house was white cabinets. It made the kitchen look brighter and we fell more like we are in Fl. Since it was a 2nd home they gave us a different look from our house in NY and made it easier to tell if we were in NY or Fl (actually there were a few other ways to tell - maybe more than a few ) . They are an upgrade over some of the wood look cabinets we like them.

I'm thinking of replacing the laminate counter tops in my white kitchen. I would love to hear what people have put with their white cabinets as to color. What colors granite they chose or high def laminate?

The countertops are Corian. I had granite up north and wanted something with less pattern, so I chose this Corian which I love.

I also think my choice is tempered by the memory of that wonderful old farm kitchen with white beadboard cabinets with little latches and red linoleum countertops in which I spent my very early years. To finish off that sweet memory is the aroma of my mom cooking dinner and baking wonderful homemade breads. |

I love my white cabinets, and i don't believe any cabinets in the villages are wood, unless you bought them yourself. And my cabinets don't look cheap.

If everyone liked the same thing, they would just sell Vanilla ice cream.
What frosts me is that people come on this forum and say stuff as if their view is the only right way to think, because they have or don't have such and such. Every home here that I have been in is lovely and reflects it's owners. We all know what we want and what we think is pretty. Not one kind of cabinets is superior to any other kind. That is just plain silly. We left solid wood cabinets behind, by far better made than what we have now, but that is probably the industry standard these days. New cabinets in new homes here are probably like new cabinets in new homes across the country.
