Making two tone work

Using two tones in the kitchen and wet bar area we created several casual living spaces within the kitchen. The kitchen was kept light with glazed ivory cabinets and a neutral color granite to blend and then highlited with a dark island that matched the wet bar in an ajoining area. On these areas we used a dark green granite and added a feel of relaxation and comfort. This provided an area to sit and read in some existing chairs that drove the deeper color of the bar. The island provided a place for breakfast and lunch and the ability to watch a flat TV over the sink. The areas were pulled together with architectural accents, a wine rack and the crown molding.
