I am on Pinterest every day. We both are. And I constantly see white kitchens or kitchens with painted cabinetry and they’re all beautiful, of course, and trendy, and I would take any of them in a heart beat. But every now and then I come across a kitchen that literally makes my jaw drop, and this one, my friends, made me gasp out loud.
I actually didn’t even find it on Pinterest. I was randomly looking at homes in NYC (as one does) and found a gorgeous brownstone for sale in Brooklyn and when I came to the photos of the kitchen I instantly fell in love. Can you even handle the color of those stained cabinets? And the beautiful white countertops (thinking they’re quartz)? The contrast of the dark wood and light counters mixed with the huge windows, that probably make it feel like you’re actually cooking in the trees, is almost too much for me to handle, in the best way possible of course.
It seems white kitchens have been all the rage for the last decade, and we’re not complaining: our last two kitchens have white cabinets and black counters. But this kitchen makes a strong case for warm wood tones and dramatic white counters that extend up the backsplash of the stove wall. The glass fronts of the cabinets mimic the open feeling the windows and the extremely tall doors evoke, allowing a not-so-big space to feel bigger and more connected with the outdoors. Can you tell I’m obsessed?
If you have a spare $10,000,000, this kitchen, and the rest of the 7,600 sq ft brownstone can be yours. Just make sure to invite us over for dinner, okay?
