inspiring kitchen - stained wood on painted frames

12 years ago

Hi there,

I'm new here, but I've been lurking for a little bit. Just thought I'd post a pic of a really interesting kitchen. I love the stained wood onto top of the painted frames. And the cute hinges! So pretty, and a little different. Not super girly, but not masculine either. It hit all the right notes for me. I love it! I thought maybe some of you would like it too.

Oh, now that's interesting!
I wish there were more photos.
I didn't catch it at first, but then I noticed it was like furniture was framed.

And those pretty butterfly hinges. Very sweet. I'm on a hinge hunt right now myself. :)

Cool!
Isn't it fun when you can do anything you want?

The last episode of Madmen has this pic of the same idea. I thought "how interesting", but not enough to consider. There must be some other similar configurations that work with this idea.

Inspiration pix with stained wood trim?

We have dark stained trim (SW Walnut Wainscot), large rooms with cathedral ceilings (SW Moderate White), lots of natural light and rooms painted SW Moderate White or F&B French Gray. Rooms are not the easiest to photograph - SW MW tends to either wash too white or turn yellow. It's a warm, soft white. Part 2 of my home tour linked below. Part 1 link at end of post shows the public areas of house. Check out kitchen photos too for the SW MW true color in real life. Here is a link that might be useful: our home tour

Hurray for restoring! I'm not sure what you're asking...are you asking if it's ok to mix painted/stained wood in a single room? Or stained in living room, painted in dining room? If the latter, what is the transition between the living room and dining room? If it's a big opening, I would say treat them the same. If it's a normal size doorway, I think you could paint the dining room, though I think originally they both would have been treated the same.

Please please please try to overlook the OTR microwave __ I can't. I simply can not overlook it. Unless everyone in your house is, at minimum, 5 '7" tall, that is a huge huge huge safety and design defect. Per KDA standards, the microwave should never be any higher than 4" below shoulder height for the shortest person to use it. The reason is that for anyone less than 5'7", they * have to lean over the stove to reach up and into it (clothes catch fire from burners - happened to my neighbor who ended up with 6 reconstructive surgeries on her face, neck & arms) and * are lifting hot heavy things from above shoulder level (spills and burns) BTW average woman in the US is 5'4 -5'5. When we were house shopping, kept seeing all these "and it has an updated kitchen" claims. And they were all sticking the microwaves over the range as part of the "improvements" (along with the biology-lab-look stainless steel stuff) and thinking they had improved the house and the price should be up in $$$$. All I saw was a large renovation project to get the #$%@ microwave down from being level with my nose -- I'm 5'2". I simply walked away and looked at something else. If - and only if - I totally loved everything about a house, the offer would be contingent on the seller - at their cost - correcting the safety hazard of the microwave no matter how much it cost to change.

Apologies, the link went to another pic. The photo #36 shows the kitchen. Will double check the link. And I didn't say that I do like the look. Just not sure how it would look overall. Your photo shows only the uppers, the lowers appear to be a 2 tone, one matching the upper color.

My friends did a two tone look in their kitchen. Their kitchen is on houzz - taking a close up pic of the cabinets to post here. The frames are painted a dark off white and the doors are walnut
