This kitchen was typical large scale builder-type. We replaced the oak cabinets (don't worry they were donated for re-use) with distressed painted/and stained knotty alder. We used a cashmere finish for the uppers, an espresso stain for the base cabinets. The island was an accent with a cottage red painted finish. The lighting was a mix of metallics. Gold over the island, copper over the dinette and smoke grey over the kitchen sink and desk. Brett Marlo DeSantis
