I just finished refreshing my 90s oak kitchen and ended up using many of your ideas without first seeing your post. We removed a teal coloured laminate backsplash and countertop, and replaced it with subway tiles and a white/lightcream quartz countertop. . We updated the lighting, put in a couple of open shelves, replaced ancient appliances with stainless steel ones, replaced the cabinet knobs and added an area rug. We are thrilled!
The one thing we did differently was to totally embrace the orangey oak. We did this by painting the walls an aqua-white. Aqua is opposite orange on the colour wheel. We also decorated with aqua accessories as well as copper accessories. The kitchen is basically a place to show off my aqua KitchenAid stand mixer lol!
I would like to put glass in my corner cabinet to further lighten the room. Thanks for your post. It was nice to see that I am not the only one keeping beautiful wood cabinets!

Oh goodness, I just scrolled through all the comments and somehow missed the one post where you answered that exact question, lol. Never mind, thanks!

Hi Trisha, I’m pretty sure it’s in the post, but I think it’s Olympus White.

Can you tell me what color are your walls in the kitchen in these photos? I have oak cabinets also and I’m trying to find a wall color to go with them. Thanks

I’m waiting for the install of my cream colored subway tiles, I replaced the lights over the island and we put a beige terrazo tile floor down. Next replacing the hardware. I’m so happy I didn’t go through the bother of painting my cabinets. I LOVE them again!!

Sorry, I see that you answered the question about wall paint already. Thanks!

I know this post is a few years old, but I’m looking to update my kitchen and I have oak cabinets also. I love what you did with your kitchen. Do you know the paint color on the wall?

Hi Moranda, It does look like it may be discontinued unfortunately. I don’t have anything that to offer in comparison but I do know Lowe’s and Home Depot offer a very wide selection of vinyl plank flooring. Your best bed would be to go pick up a couple of their small samples and hold them up to your cabinets to get the best match. Good luck!
