The finish on kitchen cabinetry, although a finishing touch, is extremely important to the overall look and feel of the kitchen. Factors to consider when selecting a finish is practicality, personal preference and aesthetics.

Out of the options below, which one do you prefer?

Gloss

Matte

Combination

Wood

There are so many factors that go into this. When my family home was being remodeled, the kitchen floor and countertops were chosen first. Choosing the backsplash and kitchen cabinets was always in accordance to what had been chosen first (in terms of finish and colors). I always thought a combination, if done right, looks great!

Wow, I really like this design and the rest of the house....really has a lovely flow to it and is very bright. My only concern with opening up the original living room to the hallway would be that the existing house is poorly insulated and would leave the front room cold during the winter. I imagine the existing front room as a dynamic room in that the doors to the dining room can be closed, a stove fire turned on and it would be a quiet reading/relaxing zone in the house. Though I must admit...the above example provided is really tempting. thanks Dytecture!

I recently painted mine "cedar key" by BM in satin impervo, then glazed them using BM studio finishes alkyd glaze with a little SW urbane bronze mixed in. Then used wipe on polyurethane.

Love the colour and style of cabinets. The worktops are beautiful. The flooring is a bit wishy washy and I would prefer a chimney hood style extractor fan - even though this one is the same colour as the kitchen, to me it sticks out like a sore thumb. Personally, I like the 'working triangle' to be at the centre of the kitchen and the fridge freezer looks like an after thought, stuck on at the end, in this design.

I painted my kitchen three years ago, and I love it. It's hard work and can take some weeks to do. You need to take doors off, remove the hinges and handles. Remember you need to prime and paint two coats on each side, so for a door that equates to six coats of paint and letting each coat dry. I used Mylands of London paint, I'm just hooked on this paint as the eggshell is dead flat with only 8 percent sheen, you wont get another paint any flatter. And if the paints good enough for Downtown Abbey, then it's good enough for us. I would hold back on painting wall tiles, as they are white and look fine , paint the cupboards first and see what it looks like. I choose Myalnds paint and had the colour mixed in a farrow and ball blue green. See photos. Good luck Yvonne
