Silver Lake Small Kitchen Remodel – Black Appliance Trend

December 14, 2017
  • Share

So thrilled to bring you my latest project!  A fabulous small kitchen remodel!!!  I was lucky enough to partner with the Whirlpool Corporation and my very talented developer friend Steve Jones of Better Shelter. Steve and I began working on this project a few months back – remodeling this fixer upper 2 bedroom house in the on-trend Silver Lake area of Los Angeles. We got really excited when we were offered Whirlpool Fingerprint-Resistant Black Stainless Steel appliances for the tiny kitchen remodel.  Okay, if you have read the blog over the years you know, I always love a wonderful small kitchen remodel. The blog started because almost 10 years ago because I had remodeled my then really small kitchen in the Hollywood Hills.  Now, this project is particularly thrilling because of the appliances we are using, I get to be at the forefront of the next kitchen design trend…read on to see how…

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!

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!

What do you think of black appliances?  Like or love?  Comment below.

Happy Thursday!

    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.

Instagram post 17864439829567127 Wow! This certainly puts my holiday decor to shame.  Thousands of ornaments in one London restaurant @34mayfair.  What is your holiday decorating plan?  Go all in or barely there?  Leave comment below! 📷: @meanderingmacaron @34mayfair
Instagram post 17845362592832247 #ad @BankofAmerica is doing it. Making it easier for first time homebuyers to buy a home. So many people tell me they're working towards their goal of buying a house. @BankofAmerica’s Community Homeownership Commitment offers real solutions in making homeownership a reality by offering home buying tools to first time buyers. Assistance like paying up to $10,000 toward your down payment or 3% of the purchase price, whichever is less. I have always believed the saying “Home is where the heart is.” Today, my heart is here. In the courtyard at my house with my dog. I love where I live. Oh so California. I have always been focused on home and putting down roots. I think if you can be happy in the place where you wake up and go to sleep, you can do anything. Program is not available in all areas.

Instagram post 17870574517522290 Walking around the house today on a rainy Sunday.  Rain has had me in the house today and visiting my guest room! Side story...my friend from London and I were on a conference call with a group the other day.  Everyone from Los Angeles was talking about rain.  The UK based friend said all of a sudden, “I am not doing this.  I am not sitting on the phone listening to a bunch of people from L.A. go on and on about a little bit of rain.  I’m not doing it.” We all were silenced at first and reflective about how we might sound a bit silly complaining and marveling about some light rain.  After a moment of self reflection, and a slight pause, we collectively ignored her entirely, and continued talking about the rain.  Today is another pretty rainy day here for sure.  Loving it from inside. 😂🤪Happy Sunday to you! Xo Coco
