The article reflects on the author's kitchen remodeling experience. While happy with the overall renovation, they wish they had opted for different cabinet colors. The light gray cabinets proved durable and easy to maintain, while the dark navy island cabinets chipped easily due to heavy usage. The author's daily routines, including recipe testing and family meals, contribute to the wear on these cabinets. This experience underscores the balance between aesthetics and practicality in kitchen design.
One thing I wish I could do over: painting my cabinets a dark navy.
Despite opening and closing the doors and drawers dozens of times, there are no visible dents, dings, or chips in the light gray finish.
The navy island cabinets are used constantly and with zero consideration of gentleness, making the wear and tear painfully obvious.
Once I noticed the paint chipping away from the edge of our pull-out trash drawer, I began noticing other chips elsewhere.
