Default Does everybody like white kitchen cabinets?

Am I the only one left who still like real wood finished cabinets? I just like the hominess of looking at real wood. The new white cabinets just don't appeal to me.

I agree. I was looking ar a premier model recently and noticed they had white cabinets. To each their own, but for my taste they look cheap. And actually the white thermofoil cabinets are cheaper to purchase than an equivalent wood cabinet of say maple or cherry.

I bought a resale that had white cabinets. not my favorite, I would have preferred wood, but they obviously were not a deal breaker.

You can decorate around them and make the room look okay, just would not be my first choice.

I don't like them. I like wood-- but am tired of oak.

While I didn't choose white kitchen cabinets, I think they make any kitchen look brighter. Add black granite counter tops and you have that WOW factor!

Don't you think it just depends on your decorating style?

We close on our home next Monday. I picked darker wood cabinets and will brighten with accessories and furniture. I don't care for white or oak cabinets, either. I love the way my kitchen looks. Can't wait to be in TV this weekend to see the whole house.

I prefer wood grain. I really hate to see a beautiful piece of wood painted with any color paint. I don't mind stains as long as it still looks like wood.

I didn't realize that wood could be dated.
