This Red Oak traditional kitchen contrasts nicely with the stainless steel appliances and natural finished hardwood floor. Under-cabinet lighting provides clean light to work surfaces without casting shadows, and when used with a dimmer, makes for attractive accent lighting in the evening.

Notice how the dark granite countertop transitions beautifully into the black cooking surface. The use of a light ceramic tile for the backsplash keeps the darker counter top from over-powering a small space.

These cabinets from Shiloh also feature raised panel drawer fronts- an economical upgrade for a kitchen of this size.
