Bromstad works with a unified color scheme that's more sophisticated than their former palette. Monochromatic doesn't mean using the same shade over and over; it's about using various shades and tones to create depth. He accomplishes the design by painting the cabinets a dark charcoal gray and installing a stainless steel backsplash. The final result is a modern kitchen that's sleek and kid-friendly.Product Information

David’s Design Tips:
- If choosing gray for your walls, remember that blue-grays are cooler tones, while brown-grays are warmer.
- Numbering the backs of cabinet doors and their corresponding cabinets before removing them makes re-installation much easier.
- To change the finish on cabinets, first go over with a liquid etching compound to remove grease, then sand to remove the gloss finish before painting.
