How to Paint Kitchen Cabinets Black for a Modern Look

This kitchen overhaul feels as inviting as fresh-baked bread. Here’s a note from Bridgette about the transformation:

I love following your blog and all the inspiring ideas! We are on step two of three for our remodel of our kitchen—we still need to install crème subway tile for the backsplash, add cupboard knobs, and finish styling the space… BUT the major work is done, and we’re thrilled with how it’s turning out. Below are a few sources for curious readers:

  • Granite: Santa Cecilia
  • Island color: Mesa G21 (Valspar)
  • Cabinet color: have your paint specialist mix the deepest black and begin with a tinted primer (Valspar)
  • Faucet: Price Pfister, Tuscan Bronze (Lowe’s)
  • Island lighting: Portfolio 1-Light Mini Pendant, bronze finish (Lowe’s)
  • Stools: Scoop stool, black (Target)
  • Flooring: Tundra laminate (IKEA)

Cheers & happy spring! — Bridgette
