Should I put a few glass front cabinets in my kitchen?

I love the look of glass front cabinets but am unsure if they would go with the flow of my cabinets. Nothing fancy, just a few cabinets faces replaced with clear glass. What do you think?

    You are a delight! So glad that I read your post tonight. Pretty tired of that same old question, "Which shade of gray should I paint my walls?" Or "Does this color work with this ......?" I thoroughly enjoy your independent spirit and freedom to find your inner colors.

    Thank you nmp19! I didn't intend to share this much but it started getting a little more about other things than cabinets. I know my taste is not for everyone and I'm not offended by those who hate my green paint! I think a lot of styles are nice, they're just not me. There's a story in every room of my home and it makes me feel good. My dining room is burnt orange with a huge orange tapestry...I'll take a pic tomorrow and let people discuss that! Lol

    Yes paint bottom of cabinets green, it will ground it more. You have window shelves. You don't need glass doors.

    Checking back to see what you've decided to do. Any updates? I'm always excited to see what people have done with the help of houzzers.

    The shower curtain is like artwork. Love it.

    Question: do you dress - the same as your home. I'm thinking yes - you break all the rules there also. Thanks for letting us see your home, so refreshing to see individuality.

    I cant wait to see the dinning room. Such a delightful home.

    Melony, I hear people giving you advice that you may not like. My advice to you is that when a PRO gives you advice ... look up their work that they post here on HOUZZ if you don't like it then do opposite of what they tell you. I had one trash my ideas one time and when I looked her up she had done a RED backsplash! Not everyone has good taste or the same taste.

    Here's a few more. It's very overcast today, so bear with the misty film over it. I just wanted to show my cabinets; each has a slightly different knob, as do my shutters. Also, I thought I'd attach a little pic of me..someone asked how I dress. Hmmm, pretty normal, just which decade is up in the air!

    I'm, also, redecorating my basement. I'm looking to make it look like an art gallery with one side being classics and the other being B movie posters.

    Melony you seem like a really awesome lady. Really eclectic. I am the same way but I think I might lean more eccentric. LOL. Love the beret.

    The view out your kitchen windows looks amazing! Maybe save yourself a lot of work and open those shutters wide. Looks like you've picked a beautiful spot to live.

    I love our little nook in the woods. When we moved here almost 2 years ago, there was no real landscaping. My husband planted some baby trees last year and now we've got cherries! Also, I have a small, suburban garden.

    Your fun & cool person! Nice yard & garden. I like your dining room; cozy.

    Decided to try the glass and, since you all have been helpful with your opinions, I thought I would share!
  • 9 years ago

    That looks good there.

    All these comments for glass doors! hahaha love it. Have you considered new knobs instead for added jazz...it might have been mentioned but this is just one small comment....knobs can add sparkle and shine like glass doors and it is spread all over the kithen with sparkle here and there without add more 'detail'.

  • 9 years ago

    LOL she didn't see the knobs earlier! U could, your house.

  • 9 years ago
    Susan- I have different, Ceramic knobs on each door. And they are bright and colorful! Thanks happy! I feel happy!
  • 9 years ago
    I went for it! Love it and am happy with the outcome. Kitchen feels brighter now and more open.

    Hubby did a great job and so fast. You posted May 1 and they are done already.

  • 9 years ago
    He's awesome at this...does it in the evening, after work. He built plantation shutters for 8 windows in less than a month!
  • 9 years ago
    And while building shutters, made me a spice chest out of old wood from my great-great grandparents' home.

    Where a thread starts and where it ends can be quite interesting.... great example! :-)

    Any chance hubby is available for hire...

  • 9 years ago

    Wow. Looks fantastic. My husband cant tell the difference between a phillips head and flat head screwdriver! Great job!

  • 9 years ago

    Nice. And the sense of added depth makes it seem less like a wall of cabinets.

  • 9 years ago

    Very nice!

  • 9 years ago
    Melony, I'm pretty sure we could be best friends. I'm coming over for some biscuits and gravy. What a great thread this has been!
  • 9 years ago

    Can we do more with you? Are you ready now!

  • 9 years ago
    He's now doing box valances! Maybe I'll make a thread about that!

    Beautiful glass cabinets!

    I just found this thread, and it’s such an antidote to the stuffiness and snobbiness that permeates some threads. I love people who have the courage to be themselves!

    It’s been a long time since I posted, but I just wanted to write about my new kitchen project. It’s not finished yet, as my hubby has just started refinishing a vintage set we purchased at an estate auction, but I’ve got new fun things in my home since last postings!
