TREND ALERT - WOOD KITCHEN CABINETS


This is what wood kitchen cabinets look like today.  Gone are the stained cherry, oak, mahogany carved or raised cabinet door fronts of old.  The new look for wood cabinets is a modern rustic raw wood look.

Non glossy finishes, real wood tones and colors highlighted.  The reclaimed wood look is in.  So is the modern country look with wood paneled door fronts.

You remember what those stained wood cabinets looked like in the past?  What do you think of this updated look of kitchen cabinets?




I like the first kitchen with the bead board like paneled cabinets.  Which is your favorite (if any)?

Happy Tuesday!

P.S.  Forgot to mention, had a fun night the other night at a party for Domaine Home at chic fabric showroom Harbinger here in Los Angeles.  I brought TE with me and met up with CM who runs all things operations at COCOCOZY.  Have a connection to both Harbinger and Domaine.   The COCOCOZY fabric line is carried by Harbinger and COCOCOZY is featured on the bottom of Domaine.  Ran into the fabulous interior designer Joe Lucas who owns Harbinger, Mat Sanders Editor extraordinaire of Domaine, Nicole Gibbons of So Haute and Christian May of Maison 21 blogs so many nice others (like Typhanie Peterson).  Was a fun evening.  Also got to show off the COCOCOZY fabric collection to TE as our line is carried by Harbinger! It was lots of fun.  We ended up at some party for Veranda where there were two people in leotards doing interpretive moves and acrobatics.  Very interesting indeed!

P.P.S.  Big partnership announcement for COCOCOZY tomorrow.  Stay tuned.  So excited to tell you all.

P.P.P.S.  My favorite foyer from yesterday is the first...keeping it simple! FYI!

DESIGN IDEA: A BRIGHT IDEA IN KITCHEN LIGHTING!

modern kitchen with dark wood cabinets and counter

I like this lighting look in this modern kitchen. Dark wood cabinets and counters, counter to ceiling white subway tile backsplash, and simple bulb suspension pendant lights dangling from a metal bar that is mounted onto the ceiling.

To me, these simple Edison like bulbs in different shapes and sizes work both in form and function. They look good and they provide sufficient lighting over the kitchen sink work space...makes cooking and cleaning up a little more stylish I think.

A do it yourself (DIY) horizontal bulb light fixture of sorts.

Good idea...and good looking. Simple, clean, modern and a bit of a design surprise.
