Any suggestions on how to stain brand-new maple cabinets to a dark chocolate-like color?
Q. I just bought a new house and it comes with new light maple cabinets. Rather than upgrading to a different color cabinet which can run up to $1200, we are thinking about staining the standard cabinets and save ourselves some money for other upgrades. Is it recommended and what is the best way to go about it? Obviously I plan to stain them before we move in.

A. I agree with Sophie. From the way you are talking, these cabinets are already finished. If so, you would have to remove that finish by sanding, which would be a lot of work. Wood is porous, when you finish it the pores of the wood get filled up. Even with sanding, some of the pores may be still filled up from the original finish and therefore not take stain and then the stain may not take evenly. I would recommed getting the color of cabinet you want and saving some of your other upgrades for later. I had a house built a few years ago and can give you some hits on what you probably should do now and what you can save for later. Things to change now: Cabinets Extra garage space Adding phone jacks Adding cable outlets Adding plug-ins [cont.]

A. play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find something that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours: I think "rambling rose" (# 6305) would make the black & maple POP. You can also take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website: You can get color suggestions & they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.

A. You can take the same stain from the same can and apply it to 14 different woods and get 14 different appearances. Heck, you can apply it to two different pieces of wood from the same tree and it looks different. The best thing to do is to take what you want to stain into your local paint store (not a big box store), and what you want it matched to. Ask for a stain match. They'll use the backside of whatever you're staining and get it as close as possible. Make sure your sample is large enough and of the actual stained wood, not a picture. Photos of stains are worthless for this. Matching transparent stains is kind of an art form and isn't the easiest type of match to do. I would HIGHLY recommend taking this to someone you really… [cont.]

A. Try terra cotta or a light ivory for the floors, depending on how big the room is. Get a counter top with flecks of the maple 'color', other 'earth' neutrals [ beige, tan, caramel, chocolate ], the floor color, and ivory for the background. Walls could be any color, but he'd probably like sage, with burlap curtains, and burnt orange tiebacks? Good luck, and have fun!

A. A shinier surface is always a little more flashy if the cabinets are being made I would also go with shinny finish. This finish is also easier to clean and wipe off verses a mat finish. Also if you walls and ceilings in this room are a satin or eggshell finish or even a mat the new cabinets will stand out nicely

What color should I paint my kitchen?
Q. My kitchen is currently wallpapered its a cream color w/ grapes on the trim. I have maple cabinets and cream colored counter-tops. I was thinking about painting the cabinets and the walls but not for sure what colors. I also have a red brick back-splash and my appliances are red. The stove is a cream color the wall oven is black and the sink and fridge are cream as well. So if you have any ideas could you please let me know. I am just so confused and cant decide on what to do. I want something new and fresh looking.

A. play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to help you imagine how the colors will look together. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours: I think "greek villa" (# 7551) for the cabinets & "safari" (# 7697) for the walls might be a good choice. You can take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website: You can get color suggestions & for $5 they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.
