Hey guys!
So I am right in the middle of painting our kitchen cabinets.
They use to be cream and now they are a bright white.
Truthfully, it doesn’t make a huge difference, but now the cabinets match all of the wood work in the rest of the house, which I have also painted from cream to white.
Anyway… So we have this wood range mount in our kitchen that I’m thinking of painting.
My husband quite likes the wood because of how it breaks up the room.
But I feel like it is too dark and doesn’t fit with my airy style. I would normally sand it down, and stain it in a more gray wood tone. However, the finish on this thing is very shiny and veneer-like, so I don’t think it will just sand off easily.
So out of pure curiosity of what it would look like painted, I headed to one of my favorite web sites;
Sherwin Williams Paint Visualizer
And I had myself a little virtual paint party.
I uploaded the picture above and then tried on several different colors.
Here is how the range mount would look like painted white.
I am such a fan of white kitchens, and I think this would give me the look I want.
Note: The ceiling will get painted from cream to white as well, I may switch out my light fixtures, but the tile and counter tops are staying for now.
To compromise, we could just paint the bottom part white, and leave the hood as is.
I was just going to see what the range mount would look like painted white, but once I got playing around, it was hard to stop. So I had a little fun with color too.
Here, I have left the top white and painted the bottom in a color called, Grays harbor.
This is Grays harbor on both top and bottom.
This color is called, Riverway.
This color is called, Olympic range. Which is a darker green.
And for the last look, I have chosen a color called, Needlepoint Navy on the range mount, but then I also virtually painted the ceiling white, which made a big difference too. This picture gives you a better idea of the finished look.
Isn’t it amazing how much a color can change the whole look of a room?
So do you have a favorite?
I’d love to hear what you think,
Thanks!
