Two-Tone Chelsea Masterpiece
A tiny kitchen got an opportunity to grow when a next-door apartment was purchased and combined. Loving the rich grain of cherry but disliking its red tones, a warm brown stain on the Shaker cabinet doors achieved both. Mixed with white upper cabinets inset with opaque glass, both blend beautifully with a gray-toned porcelain floor that is rectified (square edged) to give a seamless appearance. A washer and dryer are well-hidden inside a tall cabinet with a pullout shelf for folding. The walls were painted to match the soft aqua tint of the glass and a white mosaic porcelain backsplash maintained the clean lines. Achieved: a warm and inviting, multi-tasking, and comfortable new kitchen.
