Wow! Thanks for the responses, pics and links!
Patty, I think your cabs look beautiful. Honestly, I'm not against the grain (no pun intended, lol) I think the guy maybe tried to make me think that was a bad thing??
I'm looking at my bedroom door right now and it's white, and definitly shows the grain. BUT...I've never even noticed it until now.
We painted kid's bathroom cabinets last month. I will say, painting..not dh's strong point. That's probably where my fear is coming in. There are a LOT of brush strokes that I can see. Course, I have to get down level with them. For what they are, it's no big deal. But, when it's in my kitchen. TONS of natural light, and they're eye level. I worry that's where I'll have the problem.
My other fear is the durability. Like lulu mentioned, the chipping.
I have slight OCD. When things are out of order, or a mess I can't take it. (So no cabinet doors for awhile may cause me to lose my mind)
Obvisiously from my name here, I have four boys. And three dogs. We're all pretty rough on things. If I hear a crash in a kid's room, first thing I do is run in and check the walls, lol. Make sure there's no paint chips, THEN check to see if anyone's bleeding :)
How will I be with painted cabinets??? Will I be a wreck every time I hear a hot wheel smash into the toe kick, or dh banging a pot against the door???
I've struggled with paint color. First, we were going white. We painted the walls red, and FINALLY just replaced the counter a couple wks ago. Then, I decided I wanted to try black. I've now opted to ditch the red paint, and do uppers white and lowers a gray/green. It's the look I love and I'm drawn to all the time.
I have white appliances so I think doing the lowers a color other then white, yet not as stark a contrast as black will work ok.
I know it wouldn't be a perfect paint job. But, could I live with it being less then? And I know this should be a deal breaker for me, but we don't plan on being here more then another few yrs. Is it worth the work? Will it hurt my resale?
It's a 4 yr old cookie cutter house, that I'm just DYING to do my own thing with.
jdesign, and to answer a few questions. We planned on going with Benjamin Moore. The one I wanted they said I couldn't use in the color I chose. Not sure why again, cause I was zoning out by then, lol. I'd love to spray them, but dh is afraid to try. So, roller and brush it is. No glaze, not a fan of really high gloss. Didn't plan on distressing them. And dh doesn't want to deal with oil based. That's a problem..right???
We're really not that afraid of the work. Well, I'm not afraid of making dh do all the work and me just shouting instructions from the computer :) :)
Thanks again!!!!
here's a pic. we were also taking on tiling the backsplash this weekend. hmm, four days may not be enough :)
