outlier9 Thank you for your prompt reply, Kelly. Perhaps you could recommend additional paint colors that would complement or contrast well with these oak floors, white cabinets, black honed counter tops, and a red island w/white Carrara marble top please, and thank you so much. I'm color challenged.
3. Look for under-utilized space. Often the space at the end of a cabinetry run is difficult to fill with functional storage. In the past several years, we've been seeing large pull-out pantries used in locations like this. It's a perfect use of this space. In this kitchen, the pull-out is used to store spices and baking supplies next to the cooking area.
