Love the overall color combinations: black island, some black cabinets, white countertops and backsplash and love the wood elements. I am open to adding wood by way of the bar stools. I don't necessarily want wood shelves. Also, really like the large glass front cabinet on the left - wondering if something like this might work in our kitchen? We are definitely open to mixing metal colors if you think that will work.
Choose this mostly for the color combinations. I like the idea of a black hood, island, and fridge wall with white countertops. Like the pendants and the cabinet hardware. Not sure if this much black will work in my kitchen. I prefer a white backsplash. We will probably do a long rectangular island with a built in area for seating at one end similar to picture, but one level, so I will need to ensure the bar stools coordinate. Although this is a beautiful kitchen, it is a bit too glitzy for us. We are not so formal.
