Different color upper and lower cabinets?
Comments (10)Wow, some neat examples...do you think it would look ok in a kitchen on the smaller side? My kitchen is U-shaped and nowhere near as large and open as the photos. Funny, I grew up in an old house and remember some pretty wild color combos my mother painted the kitchen cabs...pink and green in the 50's and apple green and dark chocolate in the 60's. After that, the "antiquing" craze came in and they were all one color....See MoreAnyone have 2 colored cabinets (upper different color from lower)
Comments (24)Thanks! I agree with you - it still looks great after several years. It's not as trendy and that probably helps. Here are a few of my inspirational photos: Sunset 2010 Dream Remodel.

I forgot to label the source for this hutch and it's too long ago for me to remember. If anyone knows, please let me know so that I can give them credit.

Comments (5)I have done lots of searching on Houzz photos over the years and I think I saw less than a handful of kitchens that "might" have had different hardware on an island that was done in a different color or wood. I say "might", because sometimes after looking at more photos of the same kitchen, you realize it is the lighting that is making them look different and the hardware is all the same. I wouldn't do different hardware, but if you really want to do it, you need to have a good design that ties everything in. You don't want it to look like you bought at a close-out sale and didn't find enough of each type ......See MoreHow do you feel about cream upper cabinets and dark wood lower cabinet
Comments (25)We have a small galley kitchen. Eleven years ago we installed quartersawn oak cabinets, the lowers stained chestnut and the uppers stained sand - an off white. I still love it and left the cabinet scheme when we had to refresh some elements about four years ago. I agree that you should use ubatuba on both perimeter and island. At first I wondered if your backsplash tile was too muddy and 'fancy' for lack of a better word but with your ubatuba, I liked it better the longer I looked at the combination. You get so many opinions - including mine! Have you talked to a tiler about the backsplash installation - they'll require a skilled installer I would think....See MoreAnnette Holbrook(z7a)
