it's a good color for cabinets

Yes, it's a great color - so is White Dove (a bit warmer)

I did Simply White on kitchen cabinets, wall and ceiling in a north facing room with only one window and it was a success- a warm white with gray and beige undertones.

Kitchen cabinets from major brands don't come in standard Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore colors unless you are color matching which makes your cabinetry much more expensive. Should you need additional cabinetry or parts later they will be even more expensive and inconvenient.

If you are painting your existing cabinets then these colors are options but painting cabinetry is generally a stop gap measure and not a smart move if you are doing a complete renovation.

Simply White is lovely, Super White is lovely, Acadia White is lovely….I want my cabinets to match the wood work. I have left out Whit Dove because in a north light it often looks a bit dirty.

yes, it's a good color for cabinets. So is Oxford White.

are you painting existing cabinets?

I'm painting new cabinets. I will post pictures of counters and backsplash.

jackie that 's beautiful. (how come the lower door has a knob?)

what tile are you considering?

@Beth H. :Thanks! The majority of our lowers are drawers with just a few cabinets. I liked the looks of pulls on drawers and knobs on cabinets. That area that you picked up on was the one place in the kitchen that threw me off - becasue the one on the left is a cabinet and the one on the right is the trash pull out. After taking a poll (my mom) that is what I came up with. Ha!

Jackie....lol. well, it's too late to do a knob for the right, why not do the handle on the left one? make an exception of that one??

the hardware and lighting look great together.

I just saw this White Jade tile over at Tilebar. the warmer tones would be a perfect match

this is the herringbone, but it comes in this layout too

I did a calacatta 4x12 for mine.

same tile, diff size and layout. this would look beautiful w/your floors too.

or ?

sorry jan, got off track on your post!

We just finished our kitchen reno and went with Simply White cabinets and Kendall Charcoal island and I love it so much!

do you have a picture? I'm thinking of a charcoal island too!

I repainted all the trim and doors in BM Simply White semi-gloss and was very happy with the color. A nice bright white, but not stark. I also painted my son's north facing room with it and it also looked good on the walls in the BM matte finish.

Hi Jan, here’s our Simply White cabinets with Kendall Charcoal island. Walls are also Simply White.

Very nice! Is Kendall Charcoal a Benjamin Moore paint color? I like your floors...are they hardwood?

Robin that's really nice. do you have Simply White on the walls and trim as well?

Thanks Jan & Beth!

Jan - Yes, Kendall Charcoal is also BM. Floors are actually porcelain tile! Castelvetro Aequa Silva

Beth - We used Simply White for everything: Eggshell on the walls and Satin on the trim :)

Our kitchen with Simply White cabinets. Still love them after 3 years.

I’m still trying to decide on the “Right White for Me”.

I too think Robin’s kitchen is beautiful, but it does show as creamy in the picture which is not what I am after.

Can anyone comment on this?

Thank you!

If you want a brighter/whiter white, then look at BM Chantilly Lace and BM Oxford White.

I was very happy with BM Simply White in my house, but will probably go with the Chantilly Lace or Oxford White for a future project, as I want a slightly brighter white.

Jackie, what type and color of flooring do you have? I was planning on painting my cabinets simply white or white dove with Kendall charcoal for the island And edge comb gray walls. This is a new build and trying to figure it all out.

Yes, as long as your trim is Simply White, semi-gloss, and the ceiling is Simply White flat.

Jeri, a lot depends on the lighting in the room.

I have Simply White on my walls, my trim, and my cabinets. Absolutely no creamy or yellow tones.

trim is semi, walls are eggshell, cabs are a satin lacquer conversion in the Simply White color, perhaps one shade whiter.

@blueeyes15 The brand of our floors are Preverco. They are maple and I believe the color is 'keo'.

Thank you! Your kitchen is beautiful!

Jackie, did you decide on a tile yet?

Thank you for sharing the comments and pictures. They are so helpful to me! My husband and I are about to start a total kitchen renovation, but it has come to a halt because I can’t select the cabinet color. Everything has been chosen and ready to go. If anyone could help with a color, that would be terrific. Attached is a picture of the quartzite countertop that I selected. It’s white with warmer grays and even some hints of cream. The house is a 1920s traditional and we have selected warmer whites throughout. All trim is SW Dover White. I feel like a brighter white is needed for this countertop, but I’m worried about going too white, yet I don’t want to go too warm and clash with the quartzite. The backsplash will be dolomite marble. Any suggestions?

kgrady, you really should start your own post if you want to ask more than one simple question.

Are you sure that's real quartzite? have you tested it?

Dover white is a very warm white. that stone is a cooler gray-white. I agree, you need a brighter white. Simply White would work.

Hi Beth,
Thank you for the comment. I’m new to Houzz, so I did not realize that I should start a post.

Yes, the stone is a quartzite. I have looked at the sample of BM Simply White from the cabinetry line my design company will use and it seems too warm.

Like I said, the rest of my home is very warm, so I’m apprehensive about doing a bright, white in the kitchen. I’m concerned it won’t be cohesive.

But I will take your advice and revisit Simply White. My designer ordered a sample of BM Snowfall White. Any thoughts on it?

Thank you!

send me a message (I don't want to keep hogging someone else's post) and I'll send you a pic of mine. I used Simply White.

or, can you start your own post? with some pictures? if you do, link it here.

I’m sorry as I feel so rude! Admittedly, I’m not sure how to start my own post. Please forgive! I won’t post here again! I’ll see if I can message you privately. I’d love to see your pictures! Thank you.

grady, you can click on Design Dilemmas, and see at the top where it says, "Start your own Discussion? you can start the post that way. you'll want to tag the groups you want help from (it should ask you , or tell you how to check them off) but if you're under Design Dilemma, it should reach most forum people.

Hi kgrady17, Just in case you’re having a little trouble posting, I just want to add a vote for BM Simply White! It is a beautiful soft white that to me does not read yellow at all. I took a look at Snowfall and upon first seeing it I thought it looked green. Sure enough, when I clicked on “similar shades” on its detail on the BM site, all the choices were green! I think you’re on the right track. It’s a good idea to get a small sample and test it on a large piece of oaktag or watercolor paper and move it around at different times of day. Good luck!

And please do continue to post! :-D

Thank you! I started my own post.
