I love your kitchen! I’ve been wanting to redo mine since we moved into this place, and have been looking for ideas. I love the colour scheme of yours, it’s so elegant and clean. My husband likes it too, so I’m going to try and incorporate that colour scheme into my kitchen. Not quite sure how I’ll do it so that the black doesn’t overpower it, as mine doesn’t have the top cabinets to balance the black out. I’m sure I’ll work it out by the time I can afford to redo it.

I just stumbled across this site and was impressed by the paint job behind the radio that changes w/light….blues and greens are very soothing to me and I was wondering what color/brand it was….

You could do a mosaic tile panel that you hang on the wall behind the stove that you could take down easily if/when you decide to tile the whole backsplash. http://www.mercurymosaics.com has great mosaics and it’s all custom, so you can have them make a panel your exact dimensions using any mosaic or combination of mosaics and field tile. I’m an interior designer and live in a condo that we will outgrow in a couple of years, so that’s what I’m doing for my backsplash (and the rest is painted a dark inky blue/black color (Benjamin Moore AF-565 Mysterious in the Aura collection). I think a 30″ x 18″ panel would be about $500. Feel free to email me with any questions. Great work, by the way, the kitchen looks gorgeous and not at all like you compromised on budget!

Wow, your kitchen is absolutely amazing! I may have to use that color in my house – in fact, I just wrote a post about it.

I never would have thought to paint a kitchen black, but it’s really very nice and not at all overwhelming with those gorgeous white cabinets to balance it all out. What a bold move – it totally works and looks very sophisticated.
