They will paint any color you want.

Most stock and semi custom lines have a few colors to choose from- white obviously, usually a couple versions of grey and a navy blue. Otherwise you will need to go with a local custom cabinet maker or a line that allows custom colors. If you go with a custom color make sure to get an actual sample of the color sprayed by that company, don't hand them a Benjamin Moore sample and expect a match first try. Conversion lacquer is very different than regular paint and the formulas aren't a direct translation.

Omega cabinets will give you any color under the sun.

Kraftmaid, Shiloh and Medallion Cabinetry are all semi-custom, middle of the road price and quality and all offer custom paint colors. Kraftmaid's is probably the least expensive option. Most other charge 15-20% upcharge for a custom color plus the fee for a sample door for you to approve. Medallion has some pretty nice standard paint colors....most of my clients pick from the standard offerings.

Many companies do custom colors. Starting a project in one month will be difficult. You will have to find a designer. Pay for a door sample to be made ( that will take 3 - 4 weeks with a lot of line ). Approve the sample then order your cabinets which generally could be 5-8 weeks depending on the brand.

Step one is really finding a designer or contractor you want to work with. They will help guide you through the rest.

Good luck!!

stillpitpat and Debbi Washburn - I'm not going to be back to my winter home until mid/late-September. I'm at the "thinking and planning" stage. I want to be able to get started with the real planning that involves my spending money the second I get there. I have done two kitchens in the past, so I know it's not instantaneous. I have a couple leads on contractors, and a local appliance store (the kind that sells Wolf and Thermador, not a Home Depot) that will give their blessing or not to any plans, because they know I'll buy my appliances from them. I'm new to the area, so I have very few contacts. I feel like I have to have some knowledge going into this because I want to be sure I pick the right contractor. My two previous kitchens were both done by the same, incredible, guru-of-wood, contractor. I wish he'd come to Texas.

Bonnie, we're getting ready to put a condo on the market. The biggest surprise to me has been the difficulty of getting appliances. I wanted to replace the Bosch dishwasher we put in 24 years ago - new ones delayed until November. Ranges are delayed - basically everything! Be prepared for a very different experience.

The Kitchen Place - Thank you for some great suggestions! My other wish is to have cabinets that don't have knobs or handles. Any thoughts? Kraftmaid, at least on my monitor, has a color I'd love to have in my kitchen! Hurray for liking the least expensive of the bunch.

I used a local cabinet maker and was able to pick any color under the sun. The conversion varnish to my chosen BM color was very close. I was given a sample door that showed both style and color.

I wish I knew a good cabinet maker. I did have a great guy the two times I did a kitchen in the past, but I'm new to the area where my winter home is, and I have no idea how to go about finding one. My previous guy, same one for both kitchens, sort of fell into my lap, and he was the greatest, very slow, very painstaking, and so worth the wait.

Google, and read reviews. Make an appointment to see their shop.

latifolia - I hear you on appliances. The house where I'm redoing the kitchen had a 1990s Kitchenaid dishwasher. We stayed there for a few weeks to get the lay of the land before we went back to our other house, 2,000 miles away. The dishwasher didn't work. Getting a new one was so ridiculous that I spent $400 just to get the ancient warrior fixed. Now, I'll be ripping it out. I told my husband I may keep that thing until it dies (not really). It works great, but it's black, so it'll serve me well until the contractor tears it out. I'll put it on Freecycle when that happens.

JuneKnow - hand oils get on cabinets around knobs and handles, too. I've had kitchens with and without handles and knobs, and cabinets without "jewelry" are much easier to keep clean. I'll have to think about the channel pulls. Thanks!

Bonnie, I'm glad you are so familiar with the process. When I read your post, I thought "oh no, she actually thinks she's doing this in a month!" But you know what you are getting into, so that's good. The thinking and planning stage is kind of fun. As to cabinets, my painted ones (I also have wood) were done by a local cabinet-maker. If you wanted to try to find someone, you could maybe ask on Craigslist or Facebook groups local to the area the house is in. I have seen people join local FB groups when they are preparing to move, and they ask for all kinds of referrals. The problem is you would want to see samples of their work in person. If you go with Kraftmaid or something like that, you should be able to see that somewhere near where you are now.

I cannot imagine planning this from a distance. Good luck to you!!
