I think my tendency would be to pick something that matched the faucets, etc. I am not a designer and would love your insight - thank you!Millie Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06681545219005655494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141195593359563787.post-24458098020625976922017-03-30T17:15:41.910-07:002017-03-30T17:15:41.910-07:00Wow!I think your home is classic and timeless, and...Wow!I think your home is classic and timeless, and you did a great job.Poulin Design Centerhttp://www.poulindesigncenter.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141195593359563787.post-76015777621319325102017-03-30T17:14:51.666-07:002017-03-30T17:14:51.666-07:00it looks absolutely beautiful!

I have never heard of a melamine cabinet finish before, so I will research that for food safety in the kitchen. Wipe-ability (is that a word?!) is a big priority too. Best wishes.

It's from West Elm a few years back - my guess is they still would have similar styles! Also try Tonic Living, she sells SO many great Turkish towels in many patterns and colors. <br />Marcus Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12577555757744365954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141195593359563787.post-62406147322250743202017-03-28T22:42:24.573-07:002017-03-28T22:42:24.573-07:00Thank you so much for your comments everyone!

Kilz was our first step with 2 coats. The truth is that we had the primer sprayed on first, and then hand brushed the Coventry Gray on top - and in person it is not PERFECTLY smooth but considering the old oak of the box it looks pretty good! And the new doorfronts were oak as well so a tiny bit of grain shows through, but it doesn't bother us. The more you sand, and the more coats of primer and paint you put on (especially if sprayed) the smoother the appearance (at least from my experience. One more tip is that the Gray paint is a melamine cabinet finish (you can request this at the paint store) and this is smoother and wipeable!Marcus Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12577555757744365954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141195593359563787.post-52928363605576038962017-03-28T20:35:07.638-07:002017-03-28T20:35:07.638-07:00Lovely!

The photos suggest you managed to get a smooth finish without the wood grain showing. I have a similar project ahead -- in a kitchen -- and I am concerned about that orange-red bleeding through the new paint. Did you strip it? Seal it? Many coats of Kilz? Buying new doors seems to be a time-saving first step. Thanks and best wishes. DDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
