Would you have the courage to paint your kitchen cabinets black?

By DIY Maven

Painting kitchen cabinets is a daunting task and choosing to paint them black could make the job even more of a nail-biter for some. Not for me, however, as black is my go-to color. It would be the ONLY color that wouldn't cause a serious case of the yips. But I digress. Emily's kitchen was perfectly fine 'before', except that she didn't care for her laminate backsplash or the 'orangey-pink' stain of the cabinets. Tile took care of former, the blackest black paint she could find took care of the latter. The outcome? Well, you decide:

Dear Emily, I like your new kitchen. I would leave the island as it is (classy!) But the new knobs look strange, like several pairs of eyes, watching you all the time!

Well hello. I'm Emily. And that's my kitchen! I will admit, the lighting in the photos isn't exactly true to the reality of what it is. Good idea to paint the island a fun color. I'll have to think about that one...

Would I have the courage? I'd hope so because that looks awesome. --Mike

PS, I am a terrible speller.

Don't get me wrong, I love a white kitchen, but it looks a little off...

Georgeous! I like all the changes, including the new backsplash, countertops and island. Although, I think I would have either painted the Island black, or maybe a contrasting color like red or green instead of white.
