Kitchen

So I was thinking about what to do with my kitchen floor whenever the time comes to redo it. One of the contractors who I got an estimate from for painting said that laminate flooring would be the best in my kitchen not only because it’s easier to clean, but also because it would be better on my back and legs if I’m standing a lot. And when I cook, I do stand a lot and my lower back pays for it (even though I have laminate now).

So I thought I would look up some images of how smaller kitchens look with black and white tiled floors. And I came across these pictures from Newman and Wolen which look GREAT and also include a lot of the other elements that I want in my kitchen. And I like how the floor doesn’t scream black and white tile. I think it makes it more understated this way. And they incorporated some of the vintage elements into it such as pendant lighting. And they used white cupboards with glass fronts and subway tile as the backsplash.
I originally was inspired by Molly’s kitchen in “You, Me, and Dupree” but wasn’t sold on the flooring until now.
Now I just have to wait until the timing is right to redo my kitchen and hope that I still love this idea as much as I do now.
