Cabinets are in the mail!

I've got the FedEx tracking number in hand! Our new cabinet doors are estimated to arrive on January 14th.


We can't wait to get going on this project and painting will be a lot easier than expected with the sprayer my dad is shipping to us. We're almost finished with the kitchen!  We still need to add crown moulding and paint the cabinet bases, but we're so close to the finish line that it's hard not to get excited. We thought we were sold on the color-matched Kitchen Maid cabinets, but now we're having doubts.  I picked up two additional samples and put them on our existing cabinets to get an idea of how they'd each look. What are your thoughts? If this were your kitchen with your bright white Silestone counters and your off-white, almost gray-brown tile floors what color would you pick?

I know what you're thinking and yes, white does look nice.  It doesn't look nice when there are three different shades of competing white (counters are bright white, floors are off white, and cabinets are white) in one kitchen and no warmth in the floor.  If we could afford carerra marble counters and wide pine floors, I would be all about a white cabinet.  But that's not the case, so we're working with what we've got. Thanks for your help, everyone!
