Cottage Kitchen Cabinets

Yellow milk-painted cabinets are the star of this nostalgic kitchen, which features architectural flourishes that include decorative brackets and toe-kicks. The cheerful room mixes Shaker-style cabinetry with oil-rubbed-bronze hardware and stylish open shelving for a vintage cottage style.

Storage is no struggle for this clean kitchen that features crisp white cabinets across three walls. Display cabinets with quintessential beach cottage blue interiors and frosted glass doors contribute the perfect pop of color. They take advantage of the kitchen's lofty ceilings, but plenty of upper cabinets ensure everyday essentials are close at hand. Layers of trim crown the soffit above the top cabinets, completing the built-in look. Thanks to a sleek chrome finish, vintage-inspired hardware receives a modern face, and a beaded-board ceiling reinforces cottage style.

Classic cottage cabinetry in a beautiful blue hue blends with a backsplash of wide boards salvaged from the home's attic. Open shelves embellished with beaded trim showcase dishes set against the warm wood backdrop, which is a continuation of the backsplash. 

Crisp white cabinets stand out in a sea of wood finishes and gray walls in this cottage kitchen. Upper cabinets without doors saved the homeowner money; silver hardware keeps the space modern and reflects the veins in Calacatta marble countertops.

Existing cabinets get a coat of greenish-gray paint and new oil-rubbed-bronze pulls for a space that says rustic country cottage. A few upper cabinets were removed and replaced with open shelving that holds white ceramic dishware and gives the kitchen an unfitted, built-over-time look. Reclaimed oak wood floors warm up the green-and-white color scheme.

If your budget doesn't allow for new cabinetry, bring existing cabinets up to date with paint. Watch as we show you how!

Oak cabinets purchased unfinished and painted in place not only saved thousands of dollars in this kitchen makeover, but left room for the cabinets to be customized with cottage touches: crown molding dresses up the standard cabinets, as do drawer pulls from an antique dresser.
