Creme Fraiche is the color we have decided to go with. Just a touch of grey to go with the counter and backsplash. Yet is will look "white". I took some "before" pictures...
So much oak...I know it will look awesome with painted cabinets. Then the hardwood flooring will pop! We decided last night, after choosing which white to go with, to remove the upper cabinets over the breakfast bar counter that separates the kitchen from the family room. We have talked about this before as well, but we are just chickens when it comes to actually tearing out stuff. We decided to be bold and go for it. Always with the knowledge that the handyman's phone number is on the fridge just in case...
So far we have removed the doors and shelves as well as the trim. It seems to be all one piece, so we will have to cut it before we remove the screws holding it to the ceiling. Bede is at the hardware store as I write looking for a saw to take care of this. I have already been there to purchase a little trim crow bar to remove the wood trim in a way that we can use it again if needed. I told the guy there what we were doing and promised we would see him again soon! I'm sure we'll be BFFs by the time we are through!
