Black kitchen cabinet ideas

MODERN KITCHEN

Bistro seats by Maison Gatti surround a 19th-century English rectory table in the kitchen; the classic pendant lights have been found at a Paris flea market, the fridge is by Sub-Zero, the stove is by Wolf, the flooring is ebonized oak, and the subway tiles are from American Olean.
