[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Painted cabinets have always been considered less desirable. Perhaps a beach house in the Hamptons could get away with white painted ones, but not many other places.

Just a note to think about. [/quote]

In the $1-2M price range it’s rare to see a home with wood stained cabinets. [/quote]

[b]Yeah, but in higher end homes it's rare to find painted cabinets. [/b]

The reason is painted cabinets are "popular" in lower end builds now because that allows builders and cabinet sellers to get away with selling cheap pre-fab compressed wood pulp/etc. cabinets. Engineered boards with a cheap veneer.

Higher end cabinets use real wood and stained coated finishes or even higher end using hand rubbed oil finishes. [/quote]

This is such a strange statement. I follow plenty of high end designers on IG and truly wealthy people. Not Kardashain wealthy, but true old money wealth. Many of them have stained cabinets.

For example - Annie Meyer’s house “this oak house” on IG. She has impeccable taste and the money to go along with it. Painted cabinets. [/quote]

I do not know any old money with painted cabinets, except in a summer beach cottage.  [b]Stained hardwood cabinets are all I see in their main homes[/b]. [/quote]

I’m confused what you’re talking about. What’s the different between a painted cabinet and stained hardwood cabinet?

[b]With stained cabinets you still see the wood grain[/b]

With painted, you see the paint. [/quote]

I’ve seen plenty of high end homes then with painted cabinets. Perfectly smooth cabinets.

Here is a $33 million dollar home in Greenwich where you can’t see the wood grain:

Here’s an $11 million dollar one:

$27 million in old Greenwich

You’re full of it with your comments about cabinets. Even high end homes these days don’t have 100% hardwood cabinets because they aren’t as durable and don’t look as nice.

Maybe you meant to respond to different post?  I’m a DP who is just explaining the difference between a painted and stained cabinet. [/quote]
