Opposites Attract-Create Harmony with Contrast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve all heard the popular saying \u201cNot everything in life is black and white.\u201d However, the designer of this brilliant kitchen\/mudroom combo might just beg to differ whilst offering up a substitute for us all: \u201cOpposites attract.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here we can see a clear delineation between the countertop\/matching matte black hardware choices and everything else here, really. Starting with the matte black hardware,<\/a> we can see a fabulous and flexible assortment of chosen hardware: door handles and hinges, faucets,<\/a> hooks<\/a>, knobs & cup pulls. Even if the flooring here was a different color, there\u2019s no way that the black hardware isn\u2019t the winner in this designer\u2019s game of what ultimately looks best.

WE (www.WoodworkerExpress.com<\/a>) also has the items that hold this all together organizationally (Base Cabinet Organizers<\/a>, Lazy Susans<\/a>, Under sink Drip Trays<\/a>, Cabinet Door Racks, etc.). When it comes to style, you also have to have substance. Behind the fa\u00e7ade, there must be function; I don\u2019t think you can have one without the other. Funny how this all oddly sounds a bit like our initial \u2018popular saying\u2019 about black and white. And speaking of color contrast, I do notice a seemingly glowing yellow container of some of the finest hand sanitizer I\u2019ve come across: Lemyn<\/a>. After all, it\u2019s a kitchen\/mudroom, so perhaps the hand sanitizer is the final piece that helps keep the mud at bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
