There are a lot of new things going on around these parts. I decided to have a new series to fire up some discussions. Two new blog obligations in one week, that is rare.
Anyways, I really wanted to weigh in on people's thoughts about design trends. First up, colored cabinets. I personally would not really call it trend. I think it is pretty classic and can stand the test of time if they are done right. I only prefer dark/moody colors with a glossy finish. This look screams really expensive to me. That can be good, if it is your kitchen. It can be bad, if you are paying for it. Probably not a great choice for resale either. In a perfect world, where I would be living in my house forever and I had unlimited funds there would dark glossy cabinets.
In the real world, I would love to do a butler's pantry.
Most of the time, I prefer painted cabinets!
ReplyDeleteOnly if they are dark. It really does give a great rich look.
ReplyDeleteI love the dark moody cabinets a la Bailey, but I always wonder if it looks as good in person as it does in print.
ReplyDeleteOmgeee I love the dark glossy cabinets. I die for Bailey's kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI actually used to dog sit for a family that lived in a beautiful old home. They had the whole kitchen painted a soft yellow. The cabinets were painted the same soft yellow but in a super high gloss finish. It actually looked amazing. I moved away and haven't dog sit for them in several years but I still think about how beautiful that kitchen was. Don't discount lighter/softer colors for cabinets!
