But our granite is called "tropical brown" and I'm not sure it would look good with white cabinets. Here are a couple pics (not of my kitchen but close enough - we have the same set up, island, no backsplash and black appliances)</p> <p>What would you guys do?</p> <p>[attach=1530/14/n9wbni.588x441.Photo_Video_791813399_medium.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=1530/14/n9wbnk.423x227.1309.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-kitchen-cabinets/page/2#post-1742057 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 18:48:54 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1742057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: now that ours are painted you can't tell they're laminate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-kitchen-cabinets/page/2#post-1742042 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 18:25:47 +0000 ladybee 1742042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: do you think wood doors would look ok on the laminate? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-kitchen-cabinets/page/2#post-1742037 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 18:22:41 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1742037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: you culd always replace the doors &amp; paint everything to match! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-kitchen-cabinets/page/2#post-1742036 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 18:18:30 +0000 ladybee 1742036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: those look great!</p> <p>This is what we have. Not horrible for how old they are but they are really dark. I'm afraid they'd look stupid white since there isn't any detail to them. </p> [attach=2199/14/n8bcqv.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-kitchen-cabinets/page/2#post-1742033 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 18:17:48 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1742033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cupcake: we have brown vinyl exterior!

I'd replace the backsplash and do something to lighten your windows. Are they wood? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-kitchen-cabinets#post-1742006 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 17:46:49 +0000 blackbird 1742006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cupcake, I love cherry wood too much to cover it up!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-kitchen-cabinets#post-1741998 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 17:37:00 +0000 PurplePumps 1741998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cupcake: omg, I would LOVE to have your cabinets! I wouldn't be able to bring myself to paint over new cabinets like that. Unless you really hate your cabinets, I think your backsplash is the problem. A lighter back splash would really help brighten the space and could really transform it imo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-kitchen-cabinets#post-1741960 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 16:37:44 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1741960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: here's a dark during photo </p> [attach=1772/14/n8b82x.563x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-kitchen-cabinets#post-1741954 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 16:34:21 +0000 Cupcake 1741954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We want to do this sooooo bad.
