You are going darker and my wife has me doing the cabinets in snowdrop white with furniture grade paint.

Im doing a kitchen in frost white right now....no more natural or stained oak, cherry, or ash....with beautiful wood grain.... like we used to do.
The expresso looks very little like wood.... more like a dark brown paint.

All our cabinents are custom made clear pine. 23 doors. PIA painting. I stained them 50 years ago so I'm doing 2 coats of BINS shellac base primer before the paint.

Yes..... pine was popular too.....stains beautifully....although softer than the other woods.
A stain killing sealer like Bins shellac is a good idea.....and dries quickly...oh the fumes......take some breaks to get fresh air to keep a clear head.

I wondered if you had concealed hinges like we use now.....didnt see them in use much way back when.


Another in an off white....Linen I think.

That is a beautiful kitched.

Actually, take a look at the pic and you'll understand why I hate painting them.
