"After" Inspiration

As seen in Before and After: Angela's Kitchen on Design Sponge.

Great black & white kitchen! Information from Angela:

The cabinets are from Kraftmaid from Home Depot - the finish is “canvas”. They’ve been pretty durable so far - even with our three cats pawing them at dinner time.

The countertop is Dupont Zodiaq in Marrone Emperador. It’s a really dark brown with black veining. It’s pretty but shows everything - I guess that’s good if you want to know whether it’s clean!

The wall color is Benjamin Moore Coastal Fog. It’s a fantastic color - a very warm light grey that changes with the light.

Ceramic trash bin is indeed our intermediate food scrap holder for the compost heap. We can compost in the summer, but haven’t figured out how to manage it in the winter yet!

Lighting fixture over the sink was also from design public, but it doesn’t look like they stock it any more. You can find it at Gus Design.

The open shelves haven’t been an issue at all. I think having a powerful hood over the stove really helps. We haven’t noticed any grease accumulating on the dishes. And someone asked about culling the dishes - we were lucky that most of ours were white or taupe. But we did have to corral the coffee mugs into a corner because they’re way more chaotic visually. They live over by the tea kettle (out of frame, I think).
