Is today opposite day? Is the universe playing a trick on me? Because someone redid their kitchen, and they didn’t do it in white! I know, I know. Pick yourself up off the floor.
That someone in particular is Rachel from Redpunzel, who like most, was tired and a half of her “foak” kitchen cabinets. Unlike most redos I’ve seen recently, however, she went with stain over paint, and made those cabinets deep, dark and dramatic. I likes it! Check out her blog for more. Thanks Rachel!

August 26, 2010 at 9:55 PMIt’s very dark for my personal tastes, but I admit that the new stain highlights the counters. Before, they blended with the light wood and were ho-hum. If you add some under-cabinet lighting, it will REALLY make the kitchen pop!
