CANADIAN HOME TRENDS & THORPE CONCEPTS
People tend to stay away from dark, bold colors in their homes for fear of strangling the space.
However, in this kitchen, the elegant walnut and aged brass accents serve to brighten up the usually
dark areas. The glass doors on the accessory bar add openness, and the shine on the black backsplash
brings light into the room by creating reflective surfaces. The brass details on the hood canopy, bar
stools and cabinetry add a pop of color and a feel of elegance to complete the room, while the
framed style of cabinetry elevates the look of the entire space. - Thorpe Concepts, www.thorpeconcepts.com

Don’t be afraid to make bold decisions with your kitchen! This two
toned kitchen is full of character, from the “x” detail and knotty
alder stain on the island to the use of different types of handles
throughout the kitchen. This rustic farmhouse inspired kitchen is a
showstopper. - Lisa Quiring, Creative Kitchens, www.creativekitchensmb.ca
When a kitchen is in great shape and
just needs a facelift, cabinet refacing
is a great choice! I had the cabinets
refaced in a earthy sage green that
looks fantastic with the gorgeous white
quartz countertop and backsplash. The
finishing details of matte black in the hardware and faucet and wood
in the pendant light and stools give it a mix of materials and warmth.
We also did black stainless steel in the appliances giving the kitchen
an updated look. We kept the layout of the kitchen the same but the
transformation is amazing! - Karla Dreyer, www.karladreyerdesign.com
