We used Soapstone countertops and Steel on the Island. The cabinet are made out of French White Oak and the stain was custom from the manufacturer, Crown Point Cabinetry, in New Hampshire. We fell in love with the bar stools in this photo but are a discontinued item from a restaurant supply company.
What Houzz contributors are saying:
Cabinet StainsTorn between painting your wood cabinets or leaving them in their unadorned beauty? Luckily, there is a compromise. Staining your cabinets can add subtle color to your kitchen but still retain the texture and original wood grain.Color picks: Stain Colors for Kitchen Cabinets
3. Silvery gray. A light gray stain will give your cabinets character, is unexpected and allows you to retain a soft, light, neutral look that easily works with many design styles, finishes, materials and colors. This kitchen has a lot of wood in it, but because the cabinetry color is not a typical wood tone, there's enough variation to keep it from appearing too woodsy.
What Houzzers are commenting on:
Cabinet color - can existing cabinets be stained this color?
Again, you can't see the grain as much. I also really like the wide boards (or 3/4/5) better than the uniform, narrow boards
