Did you paint the cabinets, and if so, what color did you use? - Did you also change the hardware. I am thinking of doing the same thing and your cabinets look like mine (from 1967). »

Joi It took us about a week or so to get through all of the steps. We did it in the summer since we're both teachers.

Joi Not sure, sorry! It's a sheet of linoleum that was already installed when we bought the house.

How big is this room and where is your fridge located? - I bought my first home last year (built 1970) and have the same kitchen layout!! The only natural light into the room is from the window over the sink (facing north/northeast). It's very dark in there and I'm hoping to brighten it up by painting the cabinets white. Your kitchen is BEAUTIFUL! What are the dimensions of the room and where is your fridge? LOL (I know, funny question). Currently, my monster fridge is where your table is. I have a counter height seating for 2 to the left, against the wall (and no room for an island), but would really like to fit my nice table in there so I can have friends/family over for dinner sometime. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank You! »

Joi Hi and thanks!! The fridge is directly left of the stove next to one set of cabinets. I'm not sure of the room's dimensions off hand.

What is the paint color? - I am trying to figure out the undertones of the gray. Whatever it is, its the exact color I'm looking for! »

Joi Hi! The color is Mercer by Ralph Lauren paint. I think it is discontinued at Home Depot but they may have the code for it if you ask.

Lily Gahagan It's handmade (http://daveandjoi.blogspot.com/2010/07/kitchen-island-project-completed.html), but based on a version from IKEA that's unfortunately no longer available. They do have another choice that's similar and could be painted and stained to match: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40157485

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Lily Gahagan to Houzz Tour: Happy-Chic Ranch House
The cabinets were originally "an awful orange-y color" when Joi and Dave bought the house. One of the first projects they tackled was to update them to their current Alabaster shade from Sherwin Williams. It's one of Joi's favorite projects to date, thanks to the dramatic difference it made.

This is a first for me: a pink kitchen island. Fabulous, especially against those brownish-gray walls!More: Find the Right PinkFind the Right GrayGuest Picks: 20 Great Grays
Milk glass makes the perfect vessels for colorful arrangements. White milk glass classically goes well with pink and add brightness to this brown-and-cream kitchen.

Try it out: Bring in floral arrangements to test out a hue; this is the smallest level of commitment you can make.
