Paint and Cabinets recommendations

[Nevin Wilkie]

Hey you guys, I just recently finished Sheetrocking and taping my current BRRRR and now I need some suggestions on what paint and cabinets I should use. The unit consists of two beds, one office and one bathroom. This unit was gutted down to the studs so there is all new electrical, plumbing, windows, sheetrock and finishes. There is recessed lighting throughout the unit, I am looking to get about 1,600-1,750 for the unit. What Brand and color paint would you guys suggest? Also Where does everyone get their cabinets from?

Thanks,

Nevin

The knock down cabinet that are made of 1/2 plywood shaker style are pretty good deal at home depot.  They are easy to put together.  Set up a contracts account at both Lowes and HD.  You don't have to be a contractor but it will save you a good chunk of money.  Go to pro desk it is easy.   I don't think I could justify custom cabinets for a $1500 rental. I have remodeled several hundred places and the ones made with particle board look good but don't last.  If your cabinets are made out of plywood and nice enough painting is actually a great option.  Saves money and looks great.  I like a navy, darker blue, charcoal or Teal but it really depends a lot on lighting, natural light and how big the kitchen is.   You might have to use some deglosser so the paint sticks.  It is much faster than sanding.  I actually like brush strokes in old houses as well. You don't have to spay them or make them perfect then.  You good contertops and do a tile back splash with some color I think white subway is becoming a bit dated.  My nephew when to Cornell and played football.  I always thought it was a good place to invest it was just to far away from me to do it. 

Good luck
