I know this has been posted probably a thousand times before.. but.. I have someone coming to paint our kitchen island in a dark finish, and the surrounding cabinets are white. I know this look is popluar now but I haven't saved many photos and I was hoping someone here could post some, or post a link to some inspiration web sites. Thanks so much! I'll be sure to post some photos when we are done!

Hi Paintlady. We are working on our kitchen also, so I have saved several pics. Are you only interested in pics with a combo of light and dark colors? Let me see what have.
Here's another view, from the other side of the room..... NOTE, the paint color is actually more of a tan like in the first picture (it's BM Wheeling Neutral) This picture is a little older, it was taken when the room was painted Sandy Brown, which was too gold for me.

Thanks everyone for the ideas and nice compliments! Annie, I don't think my house is on the Home Central link, if it is it would be older photos. I'll post more when this kitchen thing is finished. purplgrl, the granite is tropical brown. It looks a little darker in the photos than it actually is, it has browns, tans, golds, and some black in it.
Very pretty kitchen! I too think the warm browns would be a great color rather than the blacks. If you're having this professionally painted, can they rub the high points on the cabinets and the corbells so they look aged - some of the white peeking through? It might give the cabinets some sense of depth and character to have the highlights show thru rather than be all one color - just a thought - it might not be right for your house.
