Are these tops installed in your current kitchen now? The cabinets are getting painted? More than the tops effect cabinet color. Floors? Walls? Surrounding rooms? Appliances? Natural light?

what are the floors....what are the cabinets now? is it a certainty they need to be painted ?? the counters are in a neutral range/ not very busy either.....is there an issue w wear and tear on your cabinets ?

I have lots of natural light. Cabinets are getting painted and my floors are oak. Floors not changing I want to keep the warm element.

I would not paint the cabinets. the counter leans warm in your setting w lighting shown and floor....you can pick a medium sage green or a creamy off white. bring in sample paint swatches on cards and tape them up to note in your light..some will work and some wont look good...after that its personal preference what sort of a look you wish to create ?? we dont see your inspiration picture here. do you have one?

cabinet shades below .....you have a wide range of options including leaving the existing. these are fairly light shades....if you want a change I assume you want to lighten up from the slightly darker wood.....again... any inspiration pictures you have will reveal your desire for the project.

Soooo.....you put the cart before the horse!

Maybe just change the backsplash.

Hope the backsplash is being changed.

I've seen the green everywhere and I do agree the tops lean more towards warm. I didn't want to go into a long explanation hence why I didn't initially post the kitchen cabinets. Currently this is a very traditional kitchen. Prior to these tops they were a dark granite. The homeowners prior to me decided that backsplash would be perfect (it was not) the counter tops and backsplash clashed really bad. Now regarding the cabinets I've struggled for 6 yrs now to paint or not to paint or just get new wood ones all together. They are in too good of a shape for me to justify completely removing them but I just don't like how red they are. I get it some people love these and would never paint them. Buttttt I'm going for a whole new look! So did I put the cart before the horse I did and on purpose :). Yes I am painting them and yes the backsplash is going bye bye.

Not a pro…your counters are beautiful but i’m worried about why you did them before this other work? Did you decide this after you installed the counter?

@Molly no I installed them knowing everything else was also changing.

Yes, but everything needs to be tied together, nothing should be chosen in a vacumm. Honestly the cabinets look great and I would never paint them were it me. Definitely different backsplash, white subway tile maybe, and you could look at different cabinet hardware.

And they will tie in! They just don’t at the moment. It’s a process 😉

Which is unfortunately why we needed more of the surround as they all effect cabinet color, not just the tops.

Thanks Millworkman!
