Dark cabinets don't have to make the kitchen look smaller. This kitchen was a 1980's white formica laminate with radius ends and a truly dated look. This alder wood cabinetry in a rich dark finish mixed with sunny golden tones creates warmth without giving the kitchen a "closed in" feel. Reworking the plan within the existing footprint created more storage and a better work flow without the expense of an addition. Design and photo by Toni Sabatino
