The two toned kitchen cabinet trend is hot right now. They’re popping up everyone in home decor magazines and on blogs. I happen to really love the look of many of them. It allows you to use a bolder color without overwhelming the room. In some cases, lighter two toned cabinets work really well too.
I will say, after looking at hundreds of photos, I wasn’t partial to 90’s style kitchen cabinets painted white and light gray. I saw many versions of that and didn’t like any of them. If you’ve got that older style (rather than the shaker style in many of these photos) I’d consider painting the uppers white and either removing some upper doors or adding glass doors and going with a bolder color on the bottom. I’m not linking to any of these ones I didn’t love because, obviously, these are people’s homes and they love them! But if your cabinets are the style of the ones below, take a look around Pinterest before painting to see what you think!
Here are some of my favorites:
Fresh blue and white kitchen | Jillianharris – That blue is really heavenly. It looks fabulous with white countertops, white marble tile backsplash and white uppers.
Eclectic Yellow + White Kitchen | via Houzz by J.A.S Design Build – If you love a good yellow, this is definitely one. That’s one bold kitchen island and I love it!
White and teal cabinets | BHG – Oooh! So much to love here!
Shaker Farmhouse Kitchen | via Houzz by Harvey Jones Kitchens – The earthier look is still great with two tones. This is a totally different look with the white cabinets sitting right next to the natural wood cabinets. This isn’t my favorite but I know some people will love this.
Black, White + Copper Kitchen | British Standard by Plain English – If I could do this I would. I know this would drive about 50% of you absolutely batty but I can’t help but love this paint job. The open space on the right is odd but the paint has me sold.
Soft pastel two toned kitchen | BHG – A light gray/aqua looks nice in this small space with white appliances!
Bold green and white kitchen | BHG – I’d get sick of this color after a couple years but the tone really is nice. It gives the kitchen a very fresh feeling.
Modern Kitchen with Brass Drawer Pulls | Sarah Sherman Samuel – I would not have expected to love this green color but it looks rather nice in this space. I don’t know how I feel with gold handles and stainless steel appliances together. What do you think about that?
White and gray with gold hardware | House and Home – A slightly bluer gray that above. I like it less but it looks good in this space.
Two toned gray kitchen cabinets | decorpad – A very light taupe-gray and a light blue-gray. This whole kitchen is not my style but it’s lovely anyway!

I have white uppers and blue/gray lowers. I love it. The white keeps the space feeling open and airy. The darker lower cabinets hide finger prints and food drips, so everything stays clean looking. The dark gray/blue is very neutral, so I can change accent colors without being stuck with one palette. My painter thought I was crazy (clearly he never looks at Pinterest :)) but I stuck to my plans and I’m really happy with the result. I would go for it!

I have off white uppers and dark brown below and love the look. I am glad this is popular right now as my house got flooded in Hurricane Isaac and I received money only to replace the bottom cabinets since they got ruined and the top cabinets did not. So now maybe I can be a part of the “in” kitchens.

They’re all stunning & I could choose between a few of them but I love the light Aqua/taupe two toned the most!

In sorry- I meant the light gray/aqua with white.
Pam says
They are all fun, but I like the retro look best. I have the dark wood cabinets and I love them too!
Linda Livingston says
I like the soft pastel with white top. Excellent choice for a more spacious look. The bright blue looks dated to me and the teal is so exterior looking. Thanks

I love the look of French Blue and white. They have been a dream to have for me, since I have Oak in the last 2 homes. Scandinavian and very fresh.

Those kitchens looks cool. So sophisticated, old style and minimalistic at the same time. I like your taste.

The two-conditioned kitchen cupboard configuration pattern is here and it would seem that it will be around for a long time. Utilize the thoughts in this post as your plan motivation to make a look that matches your own preferences. With only a couple of little changes, you can make an on-pattern look you’ll adore for a considerable length of time to come.

Moved from Houston to Anaheim. I couldn’t believe the attention to detail and the care that they took with my furnishings. My driver was so considerate and efficient. He actually arrived early both on pick up and delivery days! The crew on both places were amazing- polite, enthusiastic and very careful.

This is good kitchen design and very modern.
Kudos to the owner.

To make a good mobile game, you’ll need the right development tools, and there’s plenty out there. Not everyone has the time to learn C++, or their game might be simple enough to not need that kind of detail and control. Then again, the larger game engines, and those that allow you to change the source code, might be just what you need to create precisely the game you want, and in 3D no less. So we’ve covered a range of tools to make sure there’s something there for all game developers and game types. We’ve divided the list below according to the size and scope of the platforms: “Big Hitters” arethe biggest engines out there with the highest amount of tools, “Mid-Level” are for relatively experienced developers who want to improve, and “Entry Level” are for those just starting out and looking to make their first game. This is the list:

I’ve been surfing on the web more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any stunning article like yours. It’s alluringly worth for me. As I would see it, if all web proprietors and bloggers made puzzling substance as you did, the net will be in a general sense more beneficial than at whatever point in late memory.
