mollypuetz I would go with the cherry cabinets, keep the tile light, sisal rugs, backsplash nice light creamy color and go with sand and water colors

idehelper Thank you. What about white subway tile backsplash and beige floor tile? Thanks again

carolins First of all: which one do you prefer if you wouldn't want to 'beachy it up'? And which one matches the rest of your furniture best?

If it were me and I had to choose between the two, I'd go for the lightest colour, because I associate beach with light driftwood, blues and greens and sand/beige colours. Chrome appliances (silvery sea waves colour).
The dining room chairs look very beach-like already. Nice!

Jayme Hobbs Do u have any sample pics of the colors? Are u refacing these cabinets?

nFORMAL design Carolins was thinking on my wavelength. "Beachy" to me means light and bright. Cinnamon would be my choice. However, I'm digging those 80s throwback cabinets in the picture...haha. Just kidding.

Look for some shell stone tile or slabs for backsplash. It is limestone (from Texas is where I've seen it) that has shell imprints all in it. Most of the University of Texas is made of the stuff. That should help with the "Beachy" aspect.

ginale Love that light shell stone tile! It would be perfect for this Reno!

idehelper Thanks for your comments. I am getting new cabinets. Love those shell tiles.

Jayme Hobbs Is the cinnamon color "orangy"?

idehelper The samples were not orangy.

Jayme Hobbs Pics..one more cinnamon-like, one darker..both were under "tropical" on HOUZZ...whoops...sorry missed one!!

Jayme Hobbs One more

carolins Hmm...if Jayme's photos are like the 'real thing', I've changed my mind and would choose the darker one in stead of the lighter colour. Unless of course orangy goes really well with the rest of your furniture. I could see it work if you combine it with aqua/turquoise tiles and fabrics. While the darker one would go well with beige/sandy colours. Did that help? No... probably not, sorry ;-)

nFORMAL design Every companies "cinnamon" is different. Most of the cinnamon cabinets I've seen are a light brown...not really orangy at all.

Jayme Hobbs My posts were not meant to depict the cabinets in question....some of the cinnamon cabinets I have seen were orangish toned.
