In Which I Ask . . .

What color shall I paint the kitchen cabinets?!?

I now this is shallow of me, but the varied yellow wood of the kitchen cabinets really bothers me. The pictures below make them look darker than they are. The bottom picture shows the wood tone best.

In any case, they could be Big Bird yellow and other members of the family (who shall remain nameless) wouldn't care, or even notice. I, however, spend a lot of time in this room and it's just not at all appealing to me. So, what color shall I paint them?

Keep in mind that:

1) the back splash and counter tops are a mellow variegated yellow
2) the appliances are white
3) the floors are a vintage linoleum of muted yellow, tan, cream and flecks of gold (I'm not making this up)
4) I get tired of color quickly
5) I have accents of red (like the star and berries here) that I don't want to change.

Some options are posted in the side bar. You can vote for one of them or leave me a comment with a fabulous new option that I never imaged.

I vote for a deep chocolate or a deep carmel color for the cabinets.

I would definitely do something on the dark side. I painted mine a cream (my husband called it "sand") and it shows every speck of anything!! What ever you decide it will be beautiful!!

It is seriously killing me to know what you decided to do with the cabinets!
