\u2018A Kind of Blue\u2019 is\/was a classic album released in 1959 by legendary trumpeter and jazz icon, Miles Davis. The uniquely colored kitchen cabinets in front of us, could absolutely be described as featuring \u2018a kind of blue\u2019 motif. I\u2019m not trying to equate Miles\u2019 musical ethos to be in harmony with this particular kitchen design, but then again: Why not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creative freedom in the arts as well as the design world are imperative to self-expression, so why not just go for those designs that you\u2019re dreaming of. What I\u2019m suggesting is simply: Embrace the Bold!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now there was a time within the last dozen years or so where I had a very navy blue kitchen . But I\u2019ve since moved on from that to a more grayish feel. Although focused at the moment on the big, bright blue kitchen cabinets, the utensils and cookware that we rely on daily generally don\u2019t sit on top of the counters as something to simply look at. That\u2019s what the cabinets are for and as we see here, Base Cabinet Fillers<\/a> can (and should) be a part of the storage and organizational mindset when we\u2019re designing a kitchen. Also note the muted appeal of the stark black cabinet hardware<\/a> against the plain birch cabinets. This allows the fantastic blue color to pop!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this one makes no excuses for being bold and cartoonish in its approach\u2026and I, for one, love it! If you are in this category as well, then head on over to check out these great Base Cabinet Fillers from Rev-A-Shelf and other great manufacturers at: www.WoodworkerExpress.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harkening back to the beginning of this column, please feel free to investigate \u2018A Kind of Blue\u2019, which is considered by many to be one of THE greatest jazz records ever recorded. “Not everything has to be shiny and new, so be sure to treasure the niceties in life, some of which already exist.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n
