if my walls are linen white, what color white would you recommend painting my cabinets?

For a seamless and calm environment, I would recommend painting the cabinets linen white.








I custom-designed this range hood built on site by Aedi Construction team. Inserts for custom hoods are readily available through most suppliers in many sizes. :)

Love the floors. Could you tell me the name of the product and manufacturer?



Hi there. There is 18" of space above counter to bottom of open shelf. The open shelf section is 12" high, with an interior height of 8.5". The cabinetry overall is 10' tall, including the crown molding. For frame of reference, the vaulted ceiling above is 16' from floor to the ridge beam. While the top shelf inside the cabinet can only be reached with a portable step stool, I think cabinetry that is full-height to the ceiling looks terrific.
I hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your project.

Floors are antique reclaimed heart pine from Longleaf Lumber in Cambridge, MA. Finish is matte Bona Kemi Traffic, although for an even healthier non-toxic finish, I now recommend ECOS Organic Wood Varnish (see link below) -- Same beautiful look with none of the off-gassing of traditional finishes.

The color of the floors is really beautiful. Besides the bona kemi was there a sealer or stain applied?


Cheers!

Thank you for the question. Both walls and trim are Benjamin Moore - Mayonnaise OC-85.


The microwave is hidden in one of the lower cabinets to the right of the oven.


Thanks, and sure! Walls are approximately 10' high. Ridge beam at center of gable is approximately 16' high.

The cabinet drawer flush pulls are from Whitechapel Ltd. Handles on the hidden SubZero refrigerators and freezer drawers are the largest 8" size in the Aubrey line from Restoration Hardware. We used extra long screws to secure them as they are not officially specified for appliance use. So far, so good.


Thanks for your question!

Rubio is terrific. For those with severe allergies, I still recommend ECOS Organics Wood Varnish... a UK product now produced here in the US. Check out ECOSpaints.net. This product not only finishes the wood, it seals the terpenes and natural aromas emitted from wood.
As always, I recommend sampling products before committing to an entire floor.
