Black cabinetry with traditional colonial detailing suggests history, permanence and craftsmanship. It is the perfect backdrop to the mustard-colored kitchen island.

Of course, the opposite treatment will make an impact as well: A lighter, brighter island will provide a dramatic contrast against dark cabinets. Make this the heart of the kitchen, where guests gather, where meals are taken, craft projects are completed. Top with extraordinary light fixtures, and you've just carved out a real gem for yourself!

Elegant. Subtle mustard on the island lightens the banks of black cabinetry and elevates the feel of this kitchen.

Don't like. Too dark. Needs more light and white countertop and backsplash

How to repaint your kitchen cabinets If you plan to take on a boring-to-black cabinet painting project, you're in for a high-impact, affordable boost. Here's how to do it: Wipe down cabinets, drawers and face frames with warm water and cleanser to remove any surface stains and grease. Remove all hardware (handles, knobs and hinges). If you plan to reuse them, keep them labeled and together in a safe place. Fill any gouges or holes, especially if you're replacing the old hardware. Place doors on drop cloth while you work on them. Sand. If your cabinetry isn't particularly glossy, you won't need to do much, but it's always good to rough it up a bit, so the primer and paint will adhere to the surface. It will also help create a smooth base, which is critical if you plan to apply a glossy paint. Prime. Oil-based primers, though messier and stinkier, will provide the best protection and durability for high-traffic, high-use elements like kitchen cabinets. Let the primer dry overnight. Paint! Two coats of latex should do the trick. Semi-gloss will be easier to clean, high gloss will give you more drama. Satin is the lowest sheen you should go with in terms of durability and wipe-ability. Paint with short strokes, all in the same direction. Let dry thoroughly between coats. The wait: Experts recommend waiting three days before re-hanging doors to ensure that you won't muck up your new paint job with fingerprints, or risk having the doors stick to the frames. Rehang/reinstall, and let the compliments roll in.
