But I've recovered. Made do. Patched a few things here and there, and it's looking better. Really. And now all this patching & raw wood needs paint. So with loads of windows, white walls, ceilings & subway tile, carrara marble, a gray slate floor, and 2 all-white kitchens behind me, dare I paint it charcoal like Gwyneth?
Might it work?
Definitely go for gray cabinets!!

I adore gray everything. Especially in a kitchen which will come alive with the abundant colors of your food. The decor should act as a backdrop for all of that.
ReplyDeleteGo for it! Charcoal grey with a crisp white is so fresh and lovely. In our last house we painted our cabinets a dark brown and I was really nervous but I have to say of all our houses it was my favourite kitchen. We had the dark floors, cream walls, marble counter tops and lots of orientals. It was cozy, warm and inviting 12 months of the year. This photo reminds me of it. Sad news about your builder...I imagine their were many missed nights of sleep over that one. This pic looks great...you will love it!

Oh, what a sad story! Good for you for picking up and moving on. I think gray cabinets would be lovely - provided you get enough natural light in the kitchen. I did a very dark grey (almost black) on our center island, which has a carerra counter. The rest of the kitchen cabinets are white because our kitchen needed a little lightening. The grey took a while to get right and took more painter time and effort (and $) because of the depth of the color - but it was worth it!
