Varied cabinet styles

11 years ago

Is it my imagination or are the perimeter cabinet door styles different from those on the island? The island appears to be raised panel while the perimeter cabs look more Shaker. We want to reface our raised panel cabinets to shaker. Would it be okay to leave our island cabinets with its raised panels? Our plan is to paint perimeter white and the island a contrast. This kitchen is helping my husband "see it"! Thanks!

Good Morning Kristen, No your not hallucinating! We used a slightly different door style. It should be OK in your case too. The color combo and quality of the finish are the most important thing. If the colors look good together and you have a real refinisher, not a painter (Big difference) finish the island, you should be good to go. Ask whom ever is going to do the work for two samples before they start! Good Luck with your project! Sincerely, Jo McKeown/Great Spaces!
