What about a pic of your kitchen? What is the lighting plan? Natural light? How open in the house? Wall finishes in the kitchen? Surrounding rooms? Floor type and colors?

Here are a few more pics of the kitchen.

floor stays??? pick a white w gray green undertones w that floor. yellow undertone is a big no. go back and get more samples. why paint the cabinets at all. get a gorgeous backsplash and statement hardware. hi quality backplash might just be enough once you get it in so painting can be completely unnecessary. many ways to take it w tile.

Take pics with the doors standing up with the floor if you have no plans to replace floor any time soon. If you plan to replace floor within a year or two, then pick the white that looks best with the rest of your house and countertops, and don’t tie yourself to something that matches the floors. I have alabaster cabinets, and they do read yellow when up to anything very bright white. I like them, and I picked the color because I did not want a frosty stark white. Pure white is a beautiful soft white too and probably more versatile. If I had a do over, I would pick pure white because it is easier to match other whites with it. But I have wood look LVP floors. Your tile if staying needs a warm white

So the current tile is currently staying. I am leaning towards the sw Pure White on the right. Pure white is considered a warm paint. Is it warm enough for the floors? As far as going with the other whites in the house, it is an older home. All of the woodwork has a yellow cast to it. Looks to be painted with an oil paint as well as aging. Eventually it will all need to be addressed and painted.

I think either one is fine. I have a friend who used a product at home depot to paint over her pinkish tiles, and it looks great. That’s always an option. You can get your grout cleaned and renewed and it will help too. Your cabinets look exactly like all the original cabinets in my neighborhood. You will be amazed at the transformation when you are done. Feels like a new kitchen for us. And looks custom since they were site built cabinets to start with

too much all white in your sized space....i wouldnt do it. not a good option long term. kitchens are geting much more of a mixture/ thoughtful/ interesting. slapping all white everywhere...ugh....you could do better....for the cost involved.... here are nicer shades w floor in mind..... or maybe white on the walls to go with.....

I think herbflavor’s two pics are making the opposite point than was intended. White is classic and you won’t regret it

I definitely appreciate all the input. Many have said keep the yellow oak. I believe it depends on where you live, but that color and exposed door hinges are totally a dated look where I live. Also the yellow honey oak reminds me of my first waterbed bedroom set I had with my ex husband.

all white kitchens require details imbedded in. Hoods/ glass doors/ stacked cabinets/ various ways.....but w the LARGER space I would figure out some way before the painting commences.......if the opportunity or effort to do such is not there ..the option of COLOR provides the interest instead of all white. This is a big paint job will be fairly costly...for the long haul of the life ahead of the renewed space it would be worth it to look things over a little closer

The OP has not picked all white finishes. Her countertop has color and movement

the counters have been noted. in fact taking that one step further..these folks created cohesiveness between counters and floor and changed one cab door to glass/inserted a hood to up the value of the project since they chose white paint ...thoughtful changes..a little more time and budget outlay.

I totally understand what you are saying herbflavor. I am waiting to see what the white looks like before I pick a backsplash. Also will be changing lighting and putting 2 pendants over the sink/counter area, adding bronze door pulls for more interest. I absolutely do not want a stark, boring kitchen. Changing those floors would lead into changing floors in many rooms. Doing the best with the budget I have to work with.

you have not shown the extent of the cabinet runs...it appears quite large.. cockpit style I think w 3 sides and another half side .....before you assign the painter to do it and then "wait and see" I would get a roll of white paper and w painters tape put it up on wall and base runs that will get the white treatment..since the floor stays, apparently, and the counter is in now ,you will get a pretty good idea. It will say something one way or the other. do you have photoshop or a friend that can insert the white for the entire space, for a panorama view....alternatively.....

Herbflavor  I was originally thinking about doing a two tone blue on the bottom, white on the uppers, but thought the granite that I have may not be able to see that look through. The kitchen is an open concept and I have lots of blue accessories in the adjacent living space. I start to wonder if that is a trend that will be over in 5 years. Covering the cabinets in white paper will definitely confuse me. I would need to find it in the right White! The shaker doors have  dimension, and pulls, more personality than a flat piece of paper. You have given me alot of food for thought so to speak.

blue would be excellent for the lowers with the floor which apparently will stay. I would absolutely search the correct one ....do a photoshop.....have you brought home even the swatch cards from the paint store. green will coordinate w blue in adjacent space as well....and you can pick gray green / closer to a neutral....and there is taupe which is so flexible .

Herbflavor happen to have this blue at home. Do you really think I can pull blue off on the bottom with this granite.? There is some purple in the granite as well.

get different swatches. blue is so beautiful..can be complex w undertones...I love seeing it in base cabs..think of hardware options giving a pop.....the one you show has purple..there are others...I like Hale Navy almost 100% of the times its used....get to the paint store . Hale navy shown...a little less purple.....on the walls is too much blue IMO.

Sharing some pics with the group. Painting starting today. I actually think Blue will work on the bottoms. Not my original plan. Is the granite too busy to accommodate these pure White on top and blue on the bottom. I think it could work. What blue do you think looks best? I have lots of natural light all day long. Naval looks pretty dark when the room is dark, but does that really matter?

any are fine..not sure I'd pick that darker of the 3....remember hardware is going to pop against this. is the upper white shade determined? you had 2 shades shown for the upper..here are some whites and you can see the variation away from stark white a little bit.....but not critical if youve decided....the first is about the cleanest white you can get....and then 2 and 3 w a move away from that....sometimes people just prefer the less clinical white....but still white....

Herbflavor the white has been an issue for me since the very beginning. The best white to match the granite is the Alabaster. It reads a bit yellow, but definitely goes. The pure white does not match any whites in the granite. I was looking at Snowbound which reads more grey and does match the granite as well. Is there a rule here? Also all of the doors and trim read more close to the Alabaster, as it looks to be an older oil type of white. Will I paint it? It wasn't on my radar as there is alot to do in the house, and there is alot of trim!

trim and doors are best left as is..... in my opinion.....its a lot of work and/or expense to have someone do it and if the condition is good I would work with it....maybe just do the alabaster..but SW does a lot there w contractors..they can lighten it 15%......but if its just wall cabs now its removed from the floor which was the very big issue in my opinion. this is snowbound from a Houzz kitchen. I think I like alabaster better...maybe just nudge it a bit lighter as mentionned.....you're going to be fine..no one will be fixated on the shade of white because you are nicely bringing in another color..you have splash yet to do/ then there is hardware etc...you're going to get a big beautiful transformed kitchen . You could google "SW best cabinet white shades" ..sometimes there is a compilation /blog you can find from decorators etc who have worked with all the shades . its interesting..their comments....
