Embracing pickled oak--am I crazy?

10 years ago

Our kitchen cabinets are pickled oak , we have light natural oak with slight golden but more natural laminate floors and we have White appliances There is a pink tone in picking but not strong I am thinking paint kitchen Benjamin Moore Weimaraner. My thought is to neutralize the pink. I have painted samples on walls and do love it most lighting of day and night. I realize white appliances are dated but I like as well as anything else available. Not really a stainless steel fan. To help keep the appliances from sticking out I would make white the secondary color in room or third if you count cabinets which are a large presence. I would change hardware n fixtures to brushed nickel. Add ceramic white, bamboo and stainless accents. Maybe even putting a few vases or pitchers or carafes above cabinets. Can I pull off the shades of taupe light wood white n nickel. I like taupe n white n gray together. Maybe single color glass subway tile and a granite countertop. I can see this in my head with Venetian ice or Carrara marble. But I need other confirmation and ideas. Will post pics soon. http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/weimaraner

    I'm trying to embraze my pickled oak kitchen as well, so please share your progress. I'm considering painting the walls a light grey to neutralize the pink just as you said. Would love to hear how you feel towards the end of the project.

    I think what you describe could work well. interesting that you noticed a pink cast to the pickling because a white washed oak flooring I really like looked too pink. while I would keep the basics in your neutral colors I could see some pale pink accents. Taupe and white would set off a collection of Depression glass or Desert Rose dishes. Good luck with the challenge of color choices.
