We finally bought our home here in Dublin and the exciting stage is about to start soon. Boy, I can’t wait… The house as it is now is a complete disaster, which makes me somehow weirdly happy. Every single surface, space and room needs to be redone, replaced or updated from floor to ceiling and windows… you name it. So it’s safe to say that we won’t be moving anytime soon. And you may be asking yourself what do all this have to do with two tone kitchens… Well if you know America’s obsession with white kitchens… I thought it would be a good idea to try to do something different while still beautiful. And also because I just realized how much I’ve loved two tone kitchens for like ever…
I also realized that I favor kitchens that don’t necessarily look too much like traditional kitchens, if you know what I mean… absence of upper cabinets, furniture like islands and a more lounging atmosphere in general, etc….
Now don’t you fret… by two tone kitchens I mean a contrasting color on either lower cabinets, upper cabinets or island and it usually works out very well.
Not for everyone but contrasting colors in this kitchen are surely rewarding and unique. Green and white…
Love, black and wood..
A perfect example that two tones can also be neutral and elegant as seen in this fabulous kitchen.
Love this contrast of blue and white. Also love the bar area. A must in our kitchen.
Navy blue, call it cliche or whatever you like, but isn’t this kitchen perfect for a beach summer home.
This kitchen in Jane Pilkington Greenwich home is one of my all time favorites. You can see the rest of the house here.

Adore the ambiance in this kitchen…
This kitchen is perfect for an urban young family, red kitchen island and white cabinets and subway tiles.
Two different shades of grey in this unique and rustic kitchen
I love love love everything in this kitchen from the unique sink, shelves, cabinets and island.
