One of the big kitchen design trends we are seeing on Pinterest, Instagram and Houzz are kitchen cabinets with two different paint colors. The trend is a darker color on the bottom cabinets with a creamy white on the top cabinets. We love this one from one of our favorite kitchen designers, Studio McGee. They used a matte black for the bottom cabinets and a creamy white for the top … [Read more...] about Blue and White Two Toned Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen Cabinet Refacing- We do that too!!
One of the things that can seriously date your kitchen is a cathedral style cabinet door. When I see this door style I can immediately tell your cabinets were installed between 1975-1990. If you are on a tight budget, painting these cabinets is a great update like what we did in our own kitchen.
