Cabinet refinishing — rough concepts
These are your photos with the cabinets repainted, so you can see roughly how each color would sit against your granite, your floor and your light. They are approximate concepts to help you work out what you like — not the finished design.
Tell me which ones appeal to you and what you would change. From there I put together the final version with your notes, and a price.
Nothing here is fixed: the color, the hardware finish and how far the paint carries can all still change.

SW 6208 · Brass hardware
A dark green with a gray undertone — quiet from across the room, clearly green up close. Frames kept warm white so the kitchen doesn't lose light.
SW 7048 · Antique brass hardware
Warm charcoal, with the frames and boxes painted the same color as the doors so there are no pale seams between them. Picks up the brown flecks in the granite.
SW 9173 · Matte black hardware
A mid-tone warm mushroom. Light enough to keep the room bright, deep enough to read as a real change from the current cream.
SW 7069 · Brass hardware
A warm near-black across all the cabinetry. Makes the white granite and the white tile the brightest things in the room.
In this set the plaster inside the window recess is shown painted too. That area is wall, not cabinet — it can stay as it is.
SW 6209 · Brass hardware
Dark, saturated and earthy rather than gray. The warm olive base sits with the terracotta floor, the depth holds the veining in the granite.
In this set the plaster inside the window recess is shown painted too. That area is wall, not cabinet — it can stay as it is.
SW 7008 · Matte black hardware
Everything, including the navy bases, in one creamy warm white. Leaves the kitchen with two colors: the granite and the floor.

SW 6027 · Brass hardware
Deep oxblood with a warm brown base. Same warm family as the floor tile, and the highest contrast of the eight against the white granite.
SW 6150 / SW 7069 · Matte black hardware
Two-tone — warm khaki above, near-black below. The dark bases hide wear, the lighter uppers keep the ceiling feeling high.
