Default Painting cabinets

wrote in message
ups.com...
Hey, I am wanting to add some color to my kitchen but I am having
trouble deciding on color. Our cabinets are a very dark wood, along
with all the trim through out the house. Any suggestions for what
color would look good on the cabinets or walls without painting the
trim?


We went with a brick red upper wall and a green lower wall, and then later
on painted the cabinets a medium-light yellow. The once dark wood cabinets
now just light up the whole room.

You will likely need 3 coats of paint for this, if you go from the dark wood
to a light color: one coat of the extra grippy primer (after sanding or it
will still peel off if nicked [personal experience here...]) and then 2
coats of the top color using a good quality paint. I left the cabinet
insides dark as they were and that darkness provides a nice contrast when
open.
