Happy Sunday! A good friend of mine just recently purchased a new house (woohoo!) and I couldn’t help but be completely smitten with her kitchen. It features dark cabinets with open shelving — an absolutely gorgeous combination! Plus, it features another kitchen favorite of mine: an island of butcher block countertop. Needless to say, I think the house is an amazing win for her, and I couldn’t be more excited!
I’ve always loved the bold and rich look of dark cabinets. Plus, there are so many options when going dark. Black, grey, blue, or even green can all be made into their deepest shades for the perfect kitchen cabinet. Open shelving is an incredibly popular trend for kitchen styling that we can’t get enough of. We love the design and functionality aspect of them. Plus, they’re the perfect option to give your kitchen a more open and spacious look. The natural wood option for open shelving brings such a warm and welcoming touch to kitchens.
