    What do you dislike about the current color? Will you be keeping the backsplash?

    Don’t paint the trim pure white. Paint it an off white. Then you don’t need to change everything else that exists in the home. Nothing in that picture looks good against a stark white.

    I already painted the trim pure white in other areas of the house

    Well, then match it in a conversion varnish from a professional cabinet painter. 7-10K. Or just repaint the trim in the kitchen to an off white. Stark white is hard to live with.

    would you be painting the cabinets? if so, it's not an easy thing to do. there is a ton of prep work involved. Having them pro painted is well over 5K

    Seems to me that choosing a diff trim color would be a whole lot easier than painting all of the cabinets to match! wouldn't it?

    I already painted the trim pure white in other areas of the house

    So you'd rather go through the intense hassle (and cost) of painting these cabinets rather than repainting the trim?

    Can't you just paint the trim in the kitchen or is it all connected.

    If you showed a picture that shows the entire room it would be easier to see.



    paint this stretch of wall something else besides that white.

    try painting the trim White Dove or Alabaster. It won't be as bright

    I will be painting the cabinets. These cabinets were honey oak I painted them 10 years ago they are due for a fresh coat of paint.

    Beth would pure white cabinets look funny with that counter and back Splash? I thought pure white was a warm white

    The colder Pure White white that you have chosen for the trim doesn’t play well with the warmer colors in your home. It would be better to adjust the trim to be warmer than to paint the cabinets a colder color. If you paint those cabinets to match the trim, it’s going to throw everything off and be an even bigger cold/warm clash that is currently happening with the trim.

    Alabaster or Greek Villa would be a good white for both trim and cabinets. But if you repaint the trim, you won’t need to paint the cabinets.



    Whst else are you thinking of changing? The backsplash? Counters? Walls? Lighting?

    It’s the trim that is the issue. It’s too cold for your house. Dover White or Alabaster would be good choices for it.
