Same applies to the doors – they don't all need to be done at once. The way I see it, just do what you can a little bit at a time to make the honey oak less noticeable. You can also tone down the "honey" part by using a gray/taupe/brown color that highlights the darker grain color tones rather than the golden tones of the finish. (Example, when I replaced the white countertops in my kitchen with a charcoal gray, the oak cabinets looked less golden and therefore much more tolerable.)

I am considering getting the cabinets painted white. But then do I have to paint the trim throughout the house? What about the doors? ugg?

I think you can go darker for a lot of contrast, but suggest one (or both) of these: 1) If you're not matching the warm tones with the cabinets, you should bring these tones in via countertop color and/or tile backsplash. 2) Look at using a darker finish that still has some red tones in it (I think cherry is a great wood for achieving this type of finish.) It doesn't have to be a lot of red, just that slight undertone to tie into the warmer tones of the oak. Hope that helps!

What are your thoughts on using a dark espresso cabinet instead of matching the warm tones?

Sincerely,
Terri
