It’s really wonderful to have Julie Smith of Jula Cole Design (previously featured here) back on HomeBunch. I am feeling very inspired by this designer’s fresh approach and this kitchen design should inspire you, especially if you’re loving this new kitchen trend: painted cabinets mixed with stained wood.
Here, the designer shares more details about this kitchen renovation:
“This was a fully gutted kitchen and living room renovation. The home was stuck in the early 2000’s with maple cabinets and old-school granite. The clients were craving a fun tile which was the inspiration for the project. I chose a Tabarka tile with a fun pattern and built everything around that. I wanted to make sure I was adding lots of wood to add warmth and ground the space as the ceilings were more than 11’. The oversize pendants were another element we used to play with scale.” – Julie Smith of Jula Cole Design.
This recently-renovated kitchen features a balanced combination of stained wood and painted cabinets with black accents.
Wood Cabinets: Custom stained Alder and White Oak. The custom stain color took a few times to reach the perfect shade. I think that Julie has found a really special color for this kitchen. It feels modern, clean without being too trendy. I couldn’t get tired of it!

My husband and I really want to update our kitchen so we are saving ideas. I love that tile backsplash and that lighting. Such a beautiful kitchen and I like seeing the mix of wood stained and painted cabinets.
I agree with your comment! I love the wood look with white cabinets.
Thank you so much, S! I appreciate it!
