We started by gutting the entire home. That gave us the ability to start fresh with the small kitchen design in the open floor plan living room dining room combo area.
This was the u-shaped kitchen during the remodel. Grey panel lower cabinets, white carrara marble and brass hardware were then installed. The kitchen remodel was on its way.
So now onto the big kitchen trend…
The trend is black. All things black inside the kitchen. Kitchen cabinets, counters, knobs and pulls, faucets and now beautiful Black Stainless Steel appliances – refrigerators, stoves, microwaves, and dishwashers. Yes. Black. Love the look. Sleek, modern and classic at the same time. For this home, we used Whirlpool Black Stainless Steel that are matte finish and finger print resistant. Today, I bring you our well designed kitchen remodel (if I do say so myself) with grey lower cabinets, white upper, quartz counters, brass accents and a touch of black…
I have a very clear design vision on how a home should look and be remodel. Steve has a very clear vision on how he wants the kitchens in the homes he remodels to look too. He balances great form and spot on function in the 100+ homes he has remodeled. We have different styles but are totally in sync on what works in home remodel.
The minute I saw this particular home that we are partnering on and saw the kitchen in progress, I thought the Black Stainless Steel would put a fantastic modern twist on the space. Now that I have seen the black appliances installed, I love it. Steve does too. The appliances blend so nicely with the grey cabinets and white uppers; they blend in so well but also stand out!

Love the brass faucet!
We chose the following Whirpool Black Stainless Steel: French Door Refrigerator, Over the Range with Steam, Stainless Steel Tub Dishwasher, 5.0 cu. ftFreestanding Gas Range with Center Oval Burner
I styled the kitchen simply with some African indigo blue mud cloth fabric as a rug as dish towels. I also added in some blue accents, a gold fruit bowl to pick up the hardware finishes, and a few cooking accessories to make the look. My kitchen at my house is not much bigger than the one in this small remodel house so this look that we designed and that Whirlpool outfitted with Black Stainless Steel s has given me lots to think about! I am saying it here. Black is the new design trend in kitchens. Good bye stainless, bye to white…here comes black!
Thank you to Whirlpool from me and Steve. We are thrilled to collab on the appliances for this latest COCOCOZY/BetterShelter project!

Love it, love it. In this modern age, with houses getting squeezed, it is so refreshing to look at this makeover. Loved the black color here. I myself particularly enjoy white.
Ohhh love the black appliances so much, I have the older ones that are not matte and chic like this but I still think they are better than stainless which omgggg if you have you know how terrible they are to clean. My friend peggy is always cleaning hers.. I actually just got a matte black faucet and soap dispenser to kind of glam up my kitchen space and pull together the black appliances in a more trendy way. If anyone else is as in love with matte black as me, check out directsinks.com, so many matte black options, I am in love with mine. Got my obsession from cococozy and now I can’t shake it.
