Shaker Cabinets Color

5 years ago

Hello. This photo may not be very helpful at this point. The window straight ahead is a full window, it's just boarded in the middle where it's broken (windows will be replaced). The floors are refinished old growth fir (covered right now). This doesn't show all areas where cabinets will go, but maybe it gives a bit of a picture standing from the dining/living (breakfast nook to right). There's a large skylight overhead and ceilings are 9 feet plus. This is a 1920 craftsman style house. I am having a hard time deciding between a sage green painted shaker cabinet, or a buttercream yellow. I would consider two tones with the sage green (darker on bottom). The island will be wood. The countertops will be stone of some sort, but I will decide on that once I know the cabinet color I want. I am just wondering what others might choose for this space or think would go well with this type of home. I tend to like timeless more than overly trendy. Thanks much for opinions.

I was inspired to get gray kitchen cabinets after a trip to Colonial Williamsburg. A few years ago, when I had my kitchen renovated, I chose Vista Gray custom cabinets by “Plain & Fancy”. They are made in America in Pennsylvania. I like to use American craftsmanship whenever I can. Gray is classic❣️

If your doing a wood island (love that)
I would do green. Or blue.
Yellow is also very pretty but I think it’s less of a versatile color. It’s more “client specific “

I live in a 1910 craftsman and have fir floors. We are uncovering and refinishing them in our renovation. I was thinking green for mine too but, decided on wood for a more traditional, timeless look.

Even though I have ordered the cabinets and fully committed, I am still a little wistful when thinking about sage.

To @kculbers, thanks for the lead on the cabinets. Looks like a neat cabinet maker. I think gray cabinets are very beautiful in the photos I see of them. For some reason gray never really resonated much with me. I would probably go closer to white rather than gray. Although some grays I really like (warm or taupy), and I agree classic. @HU-187528210, thanks for those thoughts on sage vs. yellowy. The one thing I really like about sage is that I love a "nature" feel, which is why I may ultimately go with that. @Sherry Brighton, that's interesting. I personally decided not to go with the wood cabinets in this case for various reasons, the details of which I won't bore you with. :-) But interesting to know you were seriously considering the sage. :-)

Sage green with wood tones looks dreamy.
