Design Dilemma Kitchens

Baltic brown countertops

8 years ago

We are trying to update our kitchen that has baltic brown countertops. Any recommendations of shades of white that would be good to paint our cabinets? We are also thinking about changing out the counter on our island only to save money. What are some countertops that would be complementary to baltic brown? Thanks in advance!

What color are your current cabinets?

Paint cabinets aren't easy or cheap. If done DIY it will take a long time to properly prep them, and they'll still be prone to chipping. If done professionally, it will be expensive. It's often more cost effective to just replace cabinets.

If the cabinets are okay, and it's the stone that's dating the space, it could be cheaper just to replace all the countertop.

Our cabinets are maple and very yellow. We already received a bid for professional painting. It’s one-fifth the price of replacing the cabinets.
