Show me your black and green kitchen!

Posted by rnc620 (My Page) on

My husband and I have been toying with remodeling / redecorating our kitchen for about a year now and I think it might become a reality this winter. I was watching HGTV the other day and saw a great dining room remodel that was black and green. This is one of my favorite color combos and now I want to use it in my kitchen. However, I can't find any inspiration photos.
We have honey oak cabinets that I am planning on painting black (which will match our basically new black appliances. I am thinking about a white subway tile back splash and the walls would of course be green. I love the apple green color or even a bit darker.
Would love to see all of your variations out there to give me some ideas.. Thank you!!!

This is a kitchen I used as my inspiration kitchen 6 months ago when I started my little makeover. I have looked at it so many times I am almost tired of it...LOL

I went to Lowes last night and checked out the paint samples. I'm loving the moss green family of colors. I just hope their not too dark. Our kitchen is pretty bright though so I think it will work :)

Here's almost black (espresso) and sort of green

I also have a bright kitchen, and the counters and floor allow a darker paint. I'm changing to a midtone floor and might go with a lighter paint. For reference that paint color there is Benjamin Moore Victorian Garden, about the same depth as Sherwin Williams Sawdust. Both colors are 5th down in a 7 color strip, so fairly deep.

There was this great thread that came up one time on the Decorating Forum. When you said "green walls" I immediately thought of it. Now I haven't looked at it in a long time but I remember being surprised how many people had green walls in their kitchens.
