Want to see your Dark chocolate colored cabinets

[RiverRat00]

I am not a professional but I can build some cabinets. It depends on what the cabinets are made from that will tell you whether or not they can be stained or painted. Good hardwoods such as maple and cherry can be stained or painted while cheaper plywood’s, mdf, poplar etc. are better suited for painting.

A simple google search such as “ dark brown painted kitchen cabinets” (click on the images tab on top) will have many more pictures of what you are looking for.. You could also go to the S-W website and look at their browns.

I am building and painting cabinets as I type this but they are a darker blue.

Great info, thanks man- i found a swiss chocolate that I like

Ask your wife since she is the one making all the sandwiches.

Interesting---my wife mentioned that she would like to change our cabinet colors--to white/off white.

This Gel stain can be applied over primed cabinets

I like that color scheme- is espresso part of the Sherwin Williams line of pains?

Not sure. I can try and find out though

My friend, what you need in your life is an interior decorator who has connections everywhere who can get sanples to bring home into your lighting.

Get a color sample you might like. Let’s say you like “river rat brown” google search “river rat brown cabinets” and see what pulls up. If not much pulls up, chances are it’s not a popular color. Houzz has an app that is really great for finding colors. Search brown cabinets on the app and it will show you picture after picture of designs with break downs of all colors and selections. Good app for what you’re trying to do.

Here are mine as the house was being built. We have been in the house for 5 years and now the wife wants light colored cabinets, go figure.
