Small Black and Cream Cottage Kitchen with Italian Details

Small Kitchen

These homeowners celebrate the smallness of their kitchen rather than work around it. Their update to the space preserves the kind of step-saving efficiency that eases cooking and the charming intimacy that suits their 1930s cottage-style home.

Storage Assortment

In order to provide kitchen storage and display space without leaving the small room cabinetry-heavy, the homeowners opted for a blend of open shelving, solid-door cabinetry, glass-door cabinetry, and countertop storage. The area around the sink exemplifies the varied approach.

Cork Flooring

Cork tiles laid in a low-contrast diamond pattern form a floor that is quiet, comfortable, durable, and high in vintage veracity. Cork flooring was a popular choice at the time the home was built, as was similar-looking linoleum, which typically contained ground cork.

Countertop Character

The muted brown and beige tones of honed Emperador marble in the work core and the radiant sheen of polished Damascus Red marble in the butler’s pantry make a striking countertop duo. Both stone surfaces convey elegance and age.

Low-Profile Appliances

The couple didn’t want modern appliances to overwhelm the small space, so they disguised the units with cabinetry-matching panels where possible. The wall ovens, which couldn’t be covered, were placed in an inconspicuous corner.

Beverage Bar

Once a breakfast nook, a small area between the kitchen and dining room now serves as a butler’s pantry. The homeowners treat it as their beverage bar, using the U-shape, sink-equipped prep and serving area to dole out anything from morning coffee and afternoon tea to wine and cocktails for parties.

Colors of Venice

Gold walls, parchment-color moldings, and a backsplash of beige subway tiles work with the marble counters and the contrasting painted-wood cabinetry finishes to create a subdued, earthy palette. Yet the scheme is punctuated by the boldness of black and energized by the play of patterns, such as the hypnotic design on the tile harlequin between the cooktop and hood. Cookware and collectibles fit right in, as does a small hung photograph of Venice.

Decorative Mementos

A fondness for Italy influenced the color scheme and overall ambience. Reminders of the homeowner’s Italian travels abound, especially in this part of the butler’s pantry, which displays bottles of vino, a collection of corks, Italian dishware, and a painting from Tuscany.

Efficient Design

Though the compact layout is easy for one cook to navigate, others have room to help thanks to well-spaced counters and appliances. The smart plan keeps everything within a few steps but still allows for multiple chefs in the kitchen.

Mismatched Masterpiece

The unfitted look includes a black cabinet for the refrigerator, a butcher-block table, and a built-in china cabinet original to the home. Mixing styles in this fun, comfortable space was important to the homeowners. (via: kitchenbathideas.com)

French Bistro Theme Black Kitchen Design

admin — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 11:27:39 +0000

The kitchen cabinets were done in a crackle finish to give this kitchen a French bistro look. The black sink stands out against the lightly-colored countertops.

The cabinets in this kitchen have a crackle finish, giving it a French bistro look. The table is a French door that pulls out to seat as many as six. The hutch, found at a furniture outlet store, was broken but backed with the same fabric as the valances, which pulled the entire look together.

The TV sits in an upper cabinet so the family can enjoy watching the news in the morning without it taking up counter space.

The wall entering the kitchen is a hand painted cartoon waiter pointing to the dining room that guests can sign as they leave. The tabletop is a French door that pulls out to seat up to six people. (via: www.hgtv.com)

Rustic kitchens are often beautifully coloured – we suggest pale blues, greens and reds. Try different colors on walls and fittings and, most enjoyably, you don’t have to be too neat with your painting! Rustic kitchens look great with a few paint drops here and there, a combination of weak and strong brush strokes and wispy, wavy lines – this is what gives them their great charm and character.

Whether it’s simply worn or truly beat up, this rustic finish is made up of layered colors and spattered dark paint (to mimic fly specks). When the paint is dry, you can “distress” the finish by hitting it with a chain and lightly sanding in the spots where cabinets get the most use to reveal the colors underneath.
