Tall, dark and modern

I ran across these two modern duo-toned kitchens tonight and thought I'd share the inspiration. I think they both would perfectly suit a modern or loft apartment...or maybe even a wide-open house with lots of windows.

The simple linear cabinet doors, straight hardware, and the fact that the upper cabinets are a lighter contrast to the lowers is what makes this kitchens modern but not too cold.

I also love that both kitchens have ultra light-colored floods compared to the cabinets.

Would you go bold and modern in your house? If you'd like us to design a kitchen to perfectly suit your home and style, let us know!

The power of black

It seems to me that the color black carries with it a statement. Sleek black cars with tinted windows, the little black dress and the black cat that walks boldly across your path are all noticed. They might be admired, feared, loved or despised, but they are certainly noticed.

I think it takes a pretty bold person to create a black kitchen, but it certainly makes a statement, sometimes even a beautiful one.
