Etched glass door inserts feature letters for a fun, personal touch.
Apple green cabinets brighten up this year round beach residence while avoiding the usual coastal influence.  Cabinets rise to the occasion, and in this case to a Mondrian inspired ceiling.  Uppers are found resting on the corner counter, making this usually awkward area more functional.  [...]

When the owner of this wonderfully fresh retro kitchen bought the 19th-century house, the shelves and cabinets were a mess. She knew the kitchen needed a transformation and that green would be the color as it reflected all her collectibles.

To establish a vintage feel, celadon green for the cabinets was mixed with mint-green for the [...]

That murky but wonderful mix of green, brown and grey can be described as olive green, khaki green or perhaps more precisely terra green – an earthy natural.
While it’s somewhat dark and qualifies as a drab color (in the Victorian sense of muted vs. dull) it’s a stunning alternative to either gray or natural-wood tones [...]

We found a contractor to do our kitchen facelift. You’ll be seeing him in action very soon but meanwhile he sent Tony, the stone man, to measure for our new tile backsplash and counter tops.
Tony took one look at the pink and green relief on the 1920s subways in our 25 year old backsplash, installed [...]

Know how it is when you’re clearing out piles of old magazines and suddenly something looks so familiar it stops and makes you think? That’s what happened when I spotted the charming, big jade-green shelving unit over the sink of Laura Robinson’s “back kitchen” a wall housing a sink, dishwasher, dish cabinets, refrigerator drawers, and [...]

This gray-green somewhat primitive French café kitchen oozes cottage style and vintage details. Pillar taps permit maximum action in the double sinks, which are skirted with shirred fabric. A bevy of dish racks, cup hoods, and open shelves let wet dishware drain dry. Wire racks, for bread storage, would be equally good for pitchers, teapots [...]

The strong green for this kitchen is pulled from stained glass panels of the Victorian era house and used for bead board, the period door frame and one end of the large island. The high ceiling permits oak soffit cabinets above the string of uppers on the range wall, nicely set off by a contrasting [...]

A skillful blend of silver-sage green base cabinets plus 4 additional colors shows how well a mixed scheme can work on a modest budget. Gray laminate countertops coordinate with the hood, stove and chair. Black on the table base, dishwasher and stove is another tie-in. Cabinets are a silver-sage green, matched with crystal knobs. Oak [...]

A palette of soft, seaspray green, white and terracotta warms this big family kitchen and belies the formality and wealth of detail. The colorful chairs and table in the adjacent dining area pick up the green. A SubZero 690 refrigerator, retrofitted with cabinet panels, occupies half the utility wall (left) which also includes a built-in [...]

Cheerful and colorful were the criteria for this kiwi green country-style kitchen created for comedienne Caroline Rhea in LA by New York designer Amanda Nisbet. The kitchen is remarkably simple, with white cabinets inset with beadboard, Kohler sink and faucet, and Fisher & Paykel dish drawers. The see-through upper glassware cabinets help keep the space [...]

Green and white linoleum makes a wonderful retro checkboard floor that’s echoed in the pea-green mosaic tiles on the edge of the kitchen counter. Walls, painted in a paler shade of green, work with the floor. The Jitterbug Era is further evoked by a white enamel gas stove, ‘40s era butterfly hinges on cabinets, and [...]

The statement-maker spinach-green subway tile Eurosplash (what we call the style of counter to ceiling back splash seen in English kitchens) shows how transforming tile color can be. The edgy, mid-20th century hue pushes lovely, but very traditional white cabinets with Carrara marble counters, in a more modern direction in a very decisive, simple and [...]
