Comments (17)What did you decide to do for paint? I think I have the same granite. It's Giallo Veneziano and it's very bossy. I also have dark cherry stained cabinets but mine seem more orangey. I'm looking for a paint color that will minimize the orange/peachyness of the granite and the orange/redness of the cabinets....See MoreWhat color wood floors to go with darker cherry cabinets?
Comments (9)Personally, I might re think the cherry chestnut cabinetry. A painted kitchen generally does a better job of showing off almost any wood flooring. Not necessarily white, there are as many option as paint can be mixed or tinted! Perhaps search a bit on Houzz before finalizing . Truth is, the single driving element in the abundance of white and painted kitchens seen today? The trend to SAME flooring throughout the home. And unless a tropical climate, that is usually hardwood. Even the use of the LOOK of hardwood in tile in those climates necessitating tile. Failing that : ) very nice harmony below...See MoreMixing Woods - Cherry + Walnut or Cherry + Cherry?
Comments (6)@likestonehomes, I want to see pictures when you are done too. It sounds like you have some really nice materials paired up! In general, I like mixing and matching and 'eclectic' decorating. So I'm a bit inclined to run with the sentiment here just to mix it up. Walnut has the advantage, I suppose of being a bit of a chameleon color, so maybe it will be forgiving of mistakes on my part. My only hesitation is that it seems like walnut is so often paired to a wood that both lighter and more yellow, which isn't quite what I have. Then again...maybe I'm just thinking walnut goes with light because light and dark wood pairings are on trend, so there are more online examples. By contrast, cherry is less trendy. Here's few of pictures where walnut and cherry / or dark brown + medium-red tones seem to work out alright: Of course, this is nice too ... esp. when layered red tones are balanced out...: Decisions, decisions....See MoreGail Recker
