I love my white cabinets. We remodeled an old farm house 18 years ago. Took it down to the studs, moved walls, new wiring, plumbing, and heat in the floors. I let my daughter talk me into putting "some color on the walls". Well, we live in South Central IL. with a LOT of cloudy days during winter. We have lots of windows and big patio doors, but still the house seems dark. I made the decision to start painting every room this spring and we are going with WHITE! I can decorate with color in rugs, bedding, and pillows. I LOVE white. It is fresh and clean, easy for me to keep clean (even with 16 grands in and out). I can decorate for the different seasons by just changing some throws on the sofas and pillows in different rooms. Our door knobs, kitchen hardware and lighting is all black. I have done an entry porch (closed in and I have my canned goods that I canned along one wall in a huge bookcase type cabinet that hubby built and it is black) and am working on bedrooms now. I love the way the white and ship lap in certain areas makes the colors in the rooms pop! Not a dark place to navigate now in the rooms I have done. Even my daughter loves it. :)

@Linda McDonald, please be honest and give me your opinion. We are doing a new build and thinking about Alabaster on all cabinets and trim, and all walls perhaps Neutral Ground. These are warmer tones. What do you think about that combination? The island could be iron ore or one of the similar colors. Counter tops will be white quarts and backsplash, large, 30” tiles for a broader more space covering tile without grout lines. It looks like white marble with charcoal/black veins. I think we are going to use this same tile on all bathroom floors. I like consistency throughout, but I don’t want it to be boring.

Do you know the name of the countertops in the first picture with snowbound cabinets and pure white walls? I’m trying to find a white paint color to go with silestone eternal statuario and what I thought worked beautifully when looking at samples is a mess. Any suggestions would be great!

Hi! Thanks so much for this post. I'm building a new home, with a "modern farmhouse" theme. In the kitchen, the cabinets will be white and the island is stained. Do you think Alabaster would be a good color for the white cabinets? If so, what color would you paint the walls around the cabinets? The kitchen is open to the living room, so it would have to be a color I could paint throughout that entire open space (kitchen and living room). I like the "warm" tones of Alabaster - but don't want them to appear yellow. Should I just stick to "pure white" color for cabinets? But don't want the cabinets to be too stark white where it takes away the farmhouse feel. Basically wondering what colors to do the cabinets and the kitchen/living room paint! I want them to compliment each other as well. Thanks in advance - I appreciate reading all of your advice!!

Hi Eve! It sounds like your kitchen, and living area will be very pretty! Alabaster is a great white color. I have used it on walls and cabinets in many houses, and it doesn't read yellow. Regarding the walls for this open space, if you want a greyer color look at agreeable gray and repose gray. If you want a warmer color, look at accessible beige. I hope this help, and good luck!
