We used to own a small apartment complex. When it was built, in 1970, all of the kitchens were identical, with medium wood finish cabinets. Over the years, as things needed to be replaced, one of the units wound up with white cabinets and white counter tops...and white appliances. Every time I had more than one unit to rent, including the "white" one, perspective tenants always preferred the white apartment. I would ask why they chose that unit and it was always because they liked the kitchen better...words like bright, cheerful and clean.

My favorite is a rich cream color with toffee glaze. I did that in my last house, with mexican tile counters/stone backsplash and stainless appliances. I was very happy with it and got lots of compliments. Planning to do about the same here.....eventually!

Leenie, your kitchen looks great. You said you "had the cabinets sprayed". I wonder if you could tell us who did it for you.

Hi Barefoot, Yes, Steve's Onsite Services spray painted the cabinets. They are a wonderful couple and a pleasure to work with. Email: Stevesonsiteservices@live.com or look at the web page: stevesonsiteservices.com.

Hi Barefoot,

We used William C. Parker (Billie) as did a few of our neighbors to do our backsplash and counter wall and were thrilled with his work. 352-347-0954

I can only share my experience with Steve and Jamie. They were excellent and very professional. They did a fabulous job.

That's exactly what we are doing! And yes, it really does have the "Wow!" Factor! ;-)

I love my white cabinets. Had cherry in my home up north and they were hard to clean and always looked dingy. I heard that white cabinets are now an upgrade.

I thought of the white cabinets but went with light maple instead with black granite and love the look but evaryone likes are different.

Can't wait to decorate in light and bright and leave all the dark, dark antique furniture behind. Don't want any of the antiques and dark woods either. They might be pretty, but some museum can have them as far as I'm concerned. New house and new bright everything. To each his own. That's why they have so many styles and choices.

Your kitchen looks beautiful! I also intend on choosing between the true white and the silk cabinets. Currently have knotty Alder with a cocoa glaze. beautiful too, but for Fla I felt the white was a fresh clean look!
Enjoy!!!
