Back in Black

 Jul 13, 2011

Leslie's kitchen was sporting an overabundance of yellowy oak cabinetry: the kitchen equivalent of sweatpants.  Easy.  Boring.  Unflattering.  And a little grungy.  So she decided to give it the little black dress treatment instead with Benjamin Moore Onyx and a mouse sander to show off its curves and edges.  Insta-glam!  And now I'm inspired ... to go put on my little black sweats.

We went from white, painted and repainted falling apart cabinets to new cabinets this year. I chose espresso color, perhaps because it was the opposite of what we had. And maybe just because dark cabinets are gorgeous!!!

This looks fantastic! I wonder if she got a new black stove since all her other appliances appeared to be black to begin with.

GORGEOUS make-over! I have boring oak cabinets in my kitchen and some day I hope to convince my husband we need to paint them black!

Thanks everyone! I did not get a new black stove yet. It's in the plans though.

Love the black kitchen redo! And I LOVE your comment comparison about the yellowy-toned cabinets to sweat pants! I'm laughing and laughing and laughing! Why? Because I see tons of that type of kitchen around here and cringe every time! Eeewwww! Now I'll secretly laugh about the "sweat pants look" too :-)
