Kitchen
????????????? wo-tone cabinet color scheme. We’ve reported how two-tone cabinets are destined for stardom this year, and this California kitchen is a good example of why. Originally the homeowners wanted an all-white Shaker kitchen before their designer, Sabrina Alfin, advised against it for fear of its coming off as too sterile. A grayish-teal color on the lower cabinets brought just the right balance and sophistication.
Multipurpose table on wheels. Not crazy about having a full-time dining table taking up floor space, Richard and Linnaea Bursch in Portland, Oregon, tapped designer Pangaea to come up with a better solution. She delivered with a table on wheels that can be tucked under the large island to create a breakfast bar, and rolled out to accommodate more formal occasions when needed.
For the bar? . Sliding doors. Barn-style doors on a sliding track have become a very popular choice for interior doors, both as a functional solution in tight spaces and as a style statement. Now they’re starting to pop up more and more in kitchen cabinets as a fun way to create a gallery-case look. A sliding door on a set of uppers combines the appeal of open shelves with the tidiness of a classic door cabinet, and it works in farmhouse style kitchens and modern spaces alike. Plus, not having to swing a door open and shut will make your kitchen feel just a bit bigger, and it makes a world of difference when two cooks are in the kitchen.
2. Sizzling hot kitchen. If painting all your kitchen cabinetry orange sounds like too much commitment — or perhaps a dizzying quantity of orange — why not paint just one piece? In this kitchen, delightful warm orange adds a bit of an autumn feel without being overpowering

Chopping block. Thanks to the miracle of hinges and clever design, this handy butcher-block surface pops up in a flash.
15. Surprising backsplash and countertop pairings. You could play it safe with white subway tile and granite countertops, but sometimes safe is so boring. Instead, consider a different combination, such as a brick backsplash with concrete countertops (as shown here) or yellow ceramic tile with butcher block. CONCREATE?!! look into
i have got too do this floor!!
chandeliers!! deffo
Exposed ceiling. Removing a low ceiling revealed raw wood rafters in this North Carolina kitchen, an element the homeowners were all too happy to embrace rather than cover up.
Pewter countertop. While there’s a lot to love in this Minnesota kitchen, the lead-free pewter countertop on the iron-encased island is sure to be the conversation-starter during any gathering.
Why we love it: There’s a lot to love about this traditional, grand kitchen, especially its oversize wood-topped island with seating all around it. The dark wood counter complements the stain on the exposed beams, while the floors brighten up the ground plane. Sliding French doors don’t take up any floor space and allow the breeze, and the party, to flow in and out.
nice sink!!
?
very nice NOT white kitchen!!
The textured floor is gray limestone, which is durable and low-maintenance once it has been sealed. “These tiles can also be used outside if they want to extend them onto a patio area,” Fern says.
nice bit tiles that flow to outside
cool shape bar
better design for eating at...
Neutral - In the kitchen, sliding doors truly are space savers. Here, the pantry is located behind the kitchen island. The space required for hinged doors would be difficult to accommodate, whereas sliding barn doors eliminate this consideration.
