This late summer I painted our little kitchen TEAL, which was brave for me, and my cabinets, which are painted what was a lovely creamy beige for the last 15 years now look very dirty, and it's time for a freshen up, anyway. Please be sure to share what white you are using, and I hope all your readers who are chiming in will share theirs, as well! I use a painter because I'm not up to painting them myself, physically and my painter, last I knew, use Dunn Edwards Paint here in California. In any event, please share your WHITE color choices. I'm a little intimidated by the two pages of whites I'm choosing from! Thanks. Can't wait to watch your progress.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15980878800568487226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-38713966422039684852015-10-27T23:19:21.701-04:002015-10-27T23:19:21.701-04:00I'm sure yours will be beautiful and swoon wor...I'm sure yours will be beautiful and swoon worthy! We painted ours when we first moved into our house and I wish we hadn't. The paint flakes off, wear and tear shows very easily, and the paint is really hard to clean. I hate to be Debbie Downer. I really do hope you like the paint, but I think it is miserable. You are right though, do what you love-it is your house, after all! :) Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02630307965587592000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-77565006988238280092015-10-27T22:43:30.736-04:002015-10-27T22:43:30.736-04:00I am looking forward to seeing your end results! ...I am looking forward to seeing your end results!

We built our house 12 years ago too....the look was definitely dark wood at the time. I have a pretty big kitchen (full of dark stained cherry cabinets) and everyday I wish I had the courage to paint them...there's just so many cabinets I know it will be a loooooooooooong process. Maybe I'll wait and see if you have any good tips!
