blue-gray kitchen cabinets

[Anonymous]

Has anyone installed blue-gray kitchen cabinets or painted or refaced existing cabinets in a blue-gray color? If so, what color did you choose, and what other colors do you have in the kitchen? Did you regret your decision?

I have navy cabinets with oak trim. White walls and white backsplash. Marble counters. Love it. But I think of navy as a neutral.

I have blue cabinets in BM Van Deusen Blue. In daytime it’s blue and at night more gray. I love it.

Oh boy! Painting cabinets can be easy or ruin your life if you're wanting a professional look. A friend and I painted a french blue on oak veneer cabinets. If it's oak, just give up and use refacing or buy new cabinets. It's a long story. First, I had to fill the grain. Then, I used cabinet paint ($50/gal) from Lowes and this paint is super tricky and some of it went bad and bubbled so we had to re-sand, prime multiple coats and paint multiple coats within prescribed timeframe. Whatever you do, read and adhere to the paint instructions meticulously. Lots of decisions...brush, air gun vs highest quality mini rollers. We used rollers. Can do it cheaper with enamel instead of cabinet paint which is very thin and easy to run.

OP here. We are refacing but can pick any color.

What other colors do you have for walls, counters, backsplash?

I like this idea but can’t picture it - the trim is a different color than the main cabinets? I have never seen this look.

Stick with white

Do you plan on selling soon? Blue cabinets are a risk. Maybe do white cabinets and a blue island if you have one.

We did our island in whale gray and love it. Rest of the cabinets are white.

Who did you use for cabinet refacing?

Yes, please tell us who you are using for the refacing. I need this desperately.
