Black Cabinets in the Kitchen?

While I have seen many attempts at pulling off black kitchen cabinets, the execution is rarely flawless. I came across a blog attempting to answer this very question.

I'm doing some labor intensive, cost sensitive kitchen remodeling, starting with my cabinets. Do you think it's too much to have black cabinets in a "real life" kitchen? Do you think it's too much to have black cabinets in a "real life" kitchen? I have a typical Chicago kitchen (eat-in with one wall of cabinets and a heinous soffit) and the cabinets are now white. Do you think I could do black at the bottom and white on top? I'd really appreciate the feedback. See the Answer

Website Review: Avalon Kitchen Design

Avalon Kitchen Design: located at http://www.avalonkitchendesign.com.

A good entry level site that gives potential clients just enough information to begin the initial lead generation process. The site has a photo gallery that is full of images but has very little organization. Very few content updates or company news seems to be available for visitors but overall the site is decent.

We would recommend more personal touches such as a blog, possible videos or even images of the ownership, management and or construction team so that we could know what the company stands for beyond selling cabinets. The company does maintain a seperate site at www.avaloncabinets.com that gives some information, but it is a part of their custom cabinetry section. Overall the site shows well, but leaves much to be considered.
