It is a nice quality too, and I feel bad getting rid of it and spend a lot of money on something as good as that. I am including a picture of it so you can see it better. I know you mentioned that it would be better to change the green countertop. I wish I had a different type of wood in the cabinets! Plus I believe a log house looks more homey with a wood kitchen. I really do not like oak cabinets with the grain like that, and the color is killing me □ but I have read so much about painting them, how time consuming it is and how people still have issues after that I am not sure any more. The grain of course is more evident, but not so much. I did apply Briwax and made them look better, darker, and maybe less orange. I do not think I want to paint mine either. I do believe wood cabinets suit best in that environment. HU-804373981 I love your ideas for your new kitchen! Best of luck, I would love to see pictures! See the lighter green backsplash, and how nice it looks with both? Good luck with whatever you decide! The last pic is a bigger kitchen with higher ceilings, but similar color cabinets and granite counter. I think if you removed that, and possibly updated your backsplash with new tiles, you'd get a look of a more updated kitchen without painting the cabinets. It has great tile on the backsplash and doesn't have the short piece of granite that you do on the walls. The second image below has a kitchen with higher ceilings, much lighter counter, and unpainted island. Here is a link to some cabinets that have been coated with it - Briwax kitchen cabinets You couldn't lighten your cabinets unless you sanded them down first, and I'd want a clear finish on them before I put the Briwax on. It comes in several colors, and provides a protective finish. I have used Briwax on furniture that I have made. I looked up colors that are complimentary to dark green and found the first image below.ĭo you think if you changed the cabinet hardware or updated the backsplash to a soft, naturalĬomplimentary color to the green granite that you might be happier with the kitchen? If you are keeping the dark green granite, you are limited in your color choices for the walls. Do you need the cafe curtain over the sink? I would take that down it's not needed for privacy. I agree with Allison that there is a lot going on in the kitchen as it is now. Sorry I did not want to post the last picture, but I am not sure how to delete it! The kitchen looks so messy in that one! □ I also read online that there is a wax called Briwax that people are using in their cabinets to darken them without sanding. The problem also is that the countertops are a dark green (I know they are dated, but it isĪ nice granite, in great shape, and I think green looks well in a log cabin) Should I do the island and embrace the cabinet’s color (that match the logs) or choose a creamier color? I was thinking a sage green, a buttery yellow, or a beige. But then I do not know what to do with the cabinets. So I was thinking of covering it with natural stones (the fireplace in the great living room has those). I am afraid that painting will take away the rustic feeling and that I will end up with a kitchen that came out of nowhere in the house! When we bought the house, the island was already painted, too white in my taste, and it looks like it doesn’t belong at all in there. My house is a log home, with the obvious wood everywhere. I would like to paint (or maybe not?) my kitchen cabinets.
