Understanding Quarter Round: A Guide for Kitchen Cabinet Refinishing

When these homeowners decided it was time to make some changes to their kitchen, they had no idea for dramatic the transformation was going to be! They were in for quite a surprise when they walked into their newly refinished kitchen!

Originally Dark Maple, cabinets were refinished to a custom white painted finish. Other additions include cove crown molding with apron, Light rail under cabinet molding, custom-built island panels, granite countertop, Subway tile backsplash, Atlas cabinetry Hardware, Walls painted neutral finish, new sink and faucet.

Another dramatic change was to the back of the island. It was covered in a textured wallpaper that was painted dark brown. CCFF custom built inset panels on the curved island and added decorative corbels. In addition. the raised bar on the island was leveled giving much more continuous countertop space.

More than Fifty Shades of Gray and White
Gray and white are at the top of the charts for kitchen cabinet color. Choosing a gray or a white color can be overwhelming because there is certainly a lot more than 50 shades.

The lighting in your kitchen plays a big part in what shade of white or gray to pick. Colors can look different in the morning, afternoon and evening. In addition, colors look different when it is sunny versus when it is overcast.

At CCFF, we have made your job easy. We have narrowed down the choices to give you a nice selection of grays and whites to choose from. You can trust our design consultants to help you choose the right color for your cabinets. For more information on picking white and gray cabinet colors, please click here.

Dazzling Backsplashes
Every square inch of your kitchen should be used to improve the design and flow of your new kitchen. Homeowners are no longer ignoring the area between their sinks/counters and upper cabinets. They are instead installing eye-catching backsplashes (Article by of Improvenet).
