White kitchen dilemma

11 years ago

Always wanted a bright white kitchen - finally re-doing 1985 kitchen and realizing that ALL the trim in my house is an antique white/cream color. Do I do antique white cream cabinets to match the rest of the house trim OR go bright white on the cabinets and it will be off from the rest of the house?

You are going to dislike this.... But I'd go for my kitchen of my dreams- bright white- and just tackle the woodwork by repainting it white... Room by room!

It will be once the kitchen is re-done.

Hi there,

Stay away from the bright white if the rest of the house is cream. You want a cohesive look. good luck! --Jen

Keep us updated. I just would be reluctant to compromise on the kitchen, it is the heart of the home and we spend so much time there.
