"While the old kitchen wasn't terrible, the stark contrast between the white panels and tiles and the orangey wood tone made it feel dated and too busy. I find the all-black look calming and clean, so I always feel a sense of order and peace in this space."
"While a crew worked on drying the subfloor, I took off all the cabinet doors and painted them black. I visited a million kitchen manufacturers' showrooms to find new countertops and a matching backsplash, and after sifting through all the options, decided black on black was the way to go."
"It looked awful, and I didn't understand what went wrong since all the measurements matched what I had requested."
A dishwasher leak from an upstairs neighbor prompted a kitchen update after water damage. Insurance covered the floors while professionals repaired the leak and dried the subfloor. During repairs, cabinet doors were removed and painted black to jump-start the aesthetic change. New materials were selected: a veined black backsplash, dark charcoal countertops, and matte black pulls to create a black-on-black look. The goal was a calming, clean, and orderly space. A delivery revealed a slight gap between the new backsplash and the cabinets, triggering concern despite measurements matching the order.
