Design Dilemma Kitchens

kitchen cabinets

5 years ago

Can any designer show me a pic of natural cherry upper kitchen cabinets paired with white or light color paint? It the reverse of all the photos I'm seeing online. I already own the cherry cabinets from my former home, and my husband will custom build the base cabinets. Can you also suggest countertop and floor colors?

The reason you see the reverse is the dark color works best as the lower cabinets visually and often when the uppers are darker they feel as if the will topple over . Wow it must be nice to have a cabinet making shop on hand. BTW I find reusing cabinets always a bit of a crap shoot since they now will control the design of the new kitchen and IMO cherry is not very popular anymore unless left natural which most is not.
