Painting your kitchen black Anyone seen residential homes with kitchens painted black? I have hardwood floors and am thinking about coordinating at least one black wall with some cool prints to set off my so-so countertop, the floor and my table/chair set.
Anyone seen it done tastefully? | |

If I cooked for you in my black-painted kitchen, you'd love it.  | |

i dated someone whose roommate was a big methhead tweaker and one night he came home at like 4 in the morning and painted their entire kitchen matte black. we found him the next morning sitting on the floor. he was crying and using a butterknife to etch the word "MENU" into a trash can lid. he was going to hang it on the wall in the new black kitchen.
the finished product did not look very nice. | |

It's going to have some accoutrements to bring it life. Not trash can lids. | |

i will admit that i'm not huge on the angular/asian/minimal thing, though if i were visiting someone and they had that kitchen i would be very impressed as long as it were someone else's kitchen and not mine. | |

That's phat. I'm going to paint this year, and change out my countertop, too. A black top looks cool, too. I should've bought a black fridge and dishwasher, too.
There's still time! My gosh, some black floor tile would look EXCELLENT!!!! OH. MY. GOSH!!!!  | |

Is your kitchen this expansive? I get a great amount of light through my windows and door, but the ceiling is normal height. So much for the black floor tile.  le sigh. | |

If you go with with black walls, I'd do stainless steel appliances, and countertops with black in it but not as the dominant color, like a nice colorful granite. What material are you thinking of for the counters? | |

I keed, I keed... The idea came to me today, shortly after hitting up my third pharmacy for some behind-the-counter cold meds...  [Edited 4/22/08 18:12pm] | |
