aquajulie In a comment on another picture of the same space the designer says the color is Sherwin Williams Cyprus with Latte wash but she says the actual cabinet color looks much different from the picture.
1. Microwave drawers. Not since the invention of microwave popcorn has anything excited me as much as the microwave drawer. For decades, microwaves have either claimed a couple of feet of counter space or resided above the stove. I think microwave drawers are going to become as ubiquitous as the dishwasher. Gone are the days of reaching for steaming hot food at a point just above my head. The drawers make it so easy to lift out hot food safely or to reach in and stir food without having to pull it out onto the counter.
If you like the idea of mint green in the kitchen but don't want to commit to doing the whole kitchen this color, apply it just to the island and keep the other cabinets white. Many new kitchens are showing a mix of finishes, and an island is a good place to play with color.
Could put warming drawer under microwave. not as easy to use, but since you just put stuff in them take it out might be nice alternative. Need more silverware drawers...so this would free one up!
