The Gray or White Debate


Today I was inspired by Shannon over at pink wallpaper. She posted some beautiful inspiration photos of greige and white kitchen cabinets. I am currently struggling with the same debate in my kitchen.

I love the classic look of an all white kitchen. It is clean and refreshing, never going out of style. But I am so in loooooovee greige cabinets too. I think they warm up the space, and adds a modern appeal. Oh, the struggle! I am not quite as far into my project as Shannon is, but I was dying to see more beautiful kitchens this morning.

Maybe the answer is a combination of gray and white. Many of these images combine the two and that could be a nice compromise. For now I'll keep dreaming.

I am up to my ears in paint and fabric. I am working on a new project and hopefully will have it posted this week.

What do you think? Greige or white cabinets in the kitchen?

  1. My favorite was the first picture you posted.
    White cabinets, the big concrete farm sink, and
    concrete counertop with nickel hardward on the cabinets and the wood floor. Beautiful!

  3. I agree, I love the first one! It has been in my inspiration photos for a long time. I would love to magically place any of them in my kitchen though.

  4. Going with my gut, I'd say white cabinets with grey & greige accents.

    We will be doing this same color scheme when we get into the guts of our kitchen.

  5. White cabinets are classic, I know I will never grow tired of them. I am leaning your way kirwin. I think the 2nd picture is a nice compromise.

  6. I am a white cabinet girl all the way. I knew I wanted white cabinets when we were building our house. I love grey walls. I think it is the perfect combo. I am your newest follower btw. You & your blog are just lovely!!
