I need some opinions and lots of them! Here's the thing. I am starting to LOVE black cabinets but worry about a dark kitchen, but think if you can do them right and everything else in the kitchen it could be AWESOMELY fabulous. But if you do them wrong, its just gonna look dumb and kinda horrible. I have always loved the cream cabinets with dark hardwood floors and think its classy and timeless, but I really am loving the black. What do you think? I need some serious feedback please:)
These would be the awesome black cabinets done right! Doesnt it look great?!
and here is the classic cream with dark hardwood!
Now tell me what you think! I have to decide by the end of the week, is what the contractor told me!

I really like the cream cabinets with the dark hardwood.
I love the cream cabinents. Could I get an invite to your house blog? My email is rldoubles@yahoo.com. What a cute family you have.
Dark cabinets look great in a big space. Go for it if you are working with a big room. If your kitchen space is smaller, stick with the cream. At least that's my opinion. Oh, and the black cabinets will show fingerprints more, and will require more frequent wiping!
I LOVE the black! But for sure, it's got to be done right. I totally agree with Kathy. The difference is if it's done in a big open room. If it's in a small room, it'll feel like you're drowning in it. I'm pretty sure you can drown in something other than water. You get me. Dark floors... I think I'd go with cream..... but who knows. AAAAH! This decision is hard! And it's not even my house!
You should go see Tricia's house. It's gorgeous. She did the white cabinets with the dark floor. Seriously! She won't care. Call me and I'll set you up an appointment :)

I'm a fan of the cream with dark. That's what I hope to do one day. Make the space look bigger/lighter. You'll be washing one or the other constantly(; but that's what we do. What if the hardwood floors weren't SO dark? So many fun decisions but I can't imagine the stress. Good Luck!! I want to come see when it's all done!
