Grey Kitchen Cabinets Brass Accents – This or That

March 15, 2016
  • Share
Grey Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen 1 on left vs. Kitchen 2 on right.

Soft grey kitchen cabinets with brass accents.  Today, I bring you a kitchen face off in or THIS or THAT.

Two kitchens whose designers had the same color palette in mind but whose design is very very different

Grey Kitchen 1 is designed by Suzann Kletzein. The kitchen is made distinctive because of its oversized hexagon tile floor with jagged edge leading into the wood flooring, the white square tile backsplash, and the frosted glass upper cabinet fronts. This space feels cheerful. The brass accents play a part in the design but they are subtle.

Grey Kitchen 2  is designed by Tobi Fairley.  This kitchen screams mature elegance.  The paneled cabinet doors with square sticking and the matching marble tile backsplash all blend into a monochromatic look.  In this kitchen, the designer went all the way with the bold brass accents – handles and knobs, faucet, island pendant lights and even brass built in shelving.

Tour these two kitchens and you decide which one you like best!

Grey Kitchen Cabinets #2 –  Monochromatic Elegant

I like both of these a lot but I think I am gravitating towards Kitchen 1. What do you say?

P.P.S.  Feel light headed this morning.  Am on an all protein diet!  Argghhhhhh! How much weight can a person lose in one week?  I know.  It is not wise to crash diet…but I am.  I thought I was doing really well with diet and exercise over the last few months (have been at the gym 5 days a week) and then I put on a bikini the other day in preparation for a little trip I am taking. Uh.  Hello?  Crash diet began immediately.  Ay yi yi.

P.P.P.S.  I think I am losing my mind due to all of the aforementioned dieting. I was at a sushi dinner party two nights ago at a neighbor’s house.  One of my neighbors was there, one who has lived right next door to me for 5 years.  I kept calling her Alex and Alexandra.  Finally she looked at me and said “Who is Alexandra?”  I looked at her and said “You?”.  She said, “No”.  Then I really panicked as I had absolutely no idea what her name was…I blanked.  This is my NEIGHBOR mind you.  I knew her name the week before when I wasn’t crash dieting.  She said, “My name is Vicki (*named changed to conceal her identity)”.  Everyone at the table including this French couple looked at me like I was an alien.  Grrrr…hmmm…  You might also ask what I ate at the dinner party since I am only eating protein.  I had raw tuna and water.  Oy.

    I actually prefer KITCHEN 2 w/ the ‘parquet’ ! (don’t know the exact word in english :O let’s say the immaculate wooden floor then :D) Reminds me of Gordon Ramsay’s kitchen a little 🙂

    Kitchen 2 is my favourite! It’s not totally traditional because it has that teal sideboard with the gold/brass etageres!

    I love the glamour of kitchen #2. And the teal sideboard is a fantastic touch of color.

    I love kitchen #2. As we all know brass is back in a big way. It shows that you’re up with today’s trends and aren’t afraid to take a risk. It’s an instant upgrade.

The spaces that get it right pair it with warm oak, aged brass, and something worn-in: an antique dresser, a vintage runner, a hand-thrown vase.

Marble mantels, gilt mirrors, brass fixtures, and warm wood floors do the quiet work of holding it all together.
This is what happens when “more” is chosen on purpose.
