hen Designer Jacklynn Little decided to update her condo kitchen , she knew she wanted something different than the traditional all white kitchen . The existing kitchen offered a practical layout that could not be changed with traditional wood cabinetry that needed a fresh , contemporary update . The goal was to create something bright and fresh but Jacklynn wanted something different than the classic white so she selected a beautiful blue / gray shade for the cabinetry .
To keep the project on budget and on time , she hired a professional painting company to refinish the existing cabinetry . This is a fantastic budget saver if your cabinetry is in good shape and you ’ re not changing the layout ! She also found affordable options for lighting and hardware to accent the kitchen . This savings allowed her to splurge on a high quality countertop and backsplash . These are surfaces that experience a lot of wear and tear from daily use so it ’ s important to invest in pieces that will hold up over time !
In a small kitchen , every detail counts . Choosing a soft cabinetry color with marble tiles for the backsplash makes use of the existing surfaces to create a stunning design statement . The finished kitchen has a timeless , updated , French feel .
