Blue Kitchen Cabinets

White cabinetry in kitchens has been popular for quite a few years now. As much as I love the clean, classic look, I'm starting to feel like all of these white kitchens look the same. I'd have the same reaction if fashion designers kept sending white oxford shirts down the runway season after season (even though I love white oxford shirts).

There are a variety of ways to add color and interest to an all white kitchen including easy additions like rugs or bold countertop accessories. For the more daring, however, safe white paint is disregarded and color is brought into the space through richly-hued tile or painted cabinets. Since I'm hungry for a different look, I've been noticing non-white cabinetry lately. And since I'm obsessed with blue, I've really been loving the blue cabinetry I keep seeing. Here are some examples of how many shades of blue can work in a kitchen...

Eye Candy at Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles

You all have got to browse the lineup of 100 Superlative Spaces that Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles has put together. It's a terrific compendium of unique spaces...every aesthetic is represented and it's really fun to look at them all at once. There are super modern rooms and others that are decidedly traditional - each is well executed in its own right.

These are the ones that will go in my inspiration files...

Believe it or not, that's just a little taste....there are over 80 more spaces to view. Hope that browsing through the photo gallery is as fun for you as it was for me. I'm madly in love with the dark bedroom by Barbara Howard (second photo on this post). I was shocked to discover that it's a teenage boy's bedroom...what a lucky guy!
