BEFORE This pristine white kitchen was already in great shape before we came in to give it an update. The white appliances were replaced by the homeowner.
For this kitchen, we gave the island a cosmetic upgrade by adding two turned countertop legs under the granite top. We switched out the lighting fixture over the island and replaced it with a brushed nickel small chandelier with black shades. The black shades really help make the fixture stand out. The brass door and drawer pulls were replaced by nickel pulls with black inserts to make them stand out amidst all the white. We removed the window valance and kept the window undressed. White 4 x 6" subway tile replaced wallpaper on the backsplash. Kitchen bookshelves on the island were completely emptied and we found natural wicker baskets for the shelves to draw attention to the space. AFTER
This home had beautiful mouldings throughout but the kitchen crown mouldings were a bit undersized. We added a simple profile ceiling moulding around the ceiling perimeter and painted the moulding a semi-gloss white. The 3" distance between the new moulding and the existing white crown moulding was painted in Coventry Grey to match the walls. This gave the illusion of more substantial ceiling mouldings. The addition of the strong black elements and a black/white/grey color palatte highlighted the home's strong assets - new appliances, beautiful cabinetry and wood floors, and a functional floor plan.
