Kitchen Spotlight: Green in the Kitchen

Elizabeth's post earlier today about color-coordinating in the kitchen reminded us how many bright and colorful kitchens we've seen in this year's Small Cool apartment contest. It seems like we saw a lot of green in particular - check out all these bright spring-like green kitchens...

• James and Emily's Vintage Modern Studio - That hot, hot green kitchen up top is so coordinated and crisp. The green is a little bold for us, but we really admire this kitchen.

• Dave and Rob's Small Dark and Handsome Apartment - A sweeter, lighter green. Nice with the old-fashioned bookcase and details.

• Kim's Colorful-Cozy Apartment - This one is almost yellow, but the cheeriness just grabs us. It feels flooded with light. A nice way to open up a small kitchen.

• Bryan and Stef's Green Loft - Another strong green, which stands out well in this sharp apartment.

• DHJ's Honey House - Pretty tile! Also, another laundry setup in the kitchen.

Do you have a green kitchen?

In my kitchen the walls are tan and the cabinets are oak but all of my accessories, plates, oven mitts, towels, mail organizer, etc, are sage green.

As a matter of fact, we *do* have a green kitchen.

That first picture is awesome. I am going to be flipping a house soon. I think something like this would be fun to have, but I don't think too many people would be into it.

We have a green kitchen! My husband and I wanted to update and modernize our kitchen but with a little nod to retro, mid-century, since our house was built in the 1930's. Nothing ornate would have felt natural. So we installed green, orange, and blue blacksplash tiles and pulled the green from the tiles to the walls with light green paint, stainless steel appliances, and finally neutral cabinets from Ikea. It's a clean, fresh look and it works great for us!
