Quick Tip for Lightening Up a Dark Kitchen

 

Did you all catch this kitchen in the newest Better Homes & Gardens?

I, for one, was glad to see a kitchen with dark cabinets featured.  There seems to be few great examples out there for those of us who have perfectly good cabinets and are afraid of painting them.  I liked this easy step for opening things up a bit.  The homeowner removed one of the cabinet doors and used wood putty and stain to cover up the peg holes.  The open area display for white dishes makes things a little brighter without painting the cabinets themselves.

 

Have a great weekend,
