What Mandela effect do you have or believe

I was 100% convinced Oscar Isaac was gay and married to an art curator from New York. I don’t know or care enough about the actor to have known otherwise. The “husband” was about 10 years older than him, a ginger, and wore glasses.

I have vivid memories of Wired interviews talking about his sexual orientation ration that don’t exist. Discussions mentioned on Twitter about why Disney Star Wars “did so much” in a really hamfisted pride month PR video. Photos of him and his “husband” on the red carpet, specifically one of them at an after party drinking a thing of that blue gin. An architectural digest video of their townhouse in Brooklyn.

I thought this for years. YEARS. I assumed this was common knowledge. I referenced it. This isn’t a case of mixing up celebrities this was all shit specifically to him. It wasn’t until someone was like “wtf are you talking about” where I looked it up and felt like I’d been sent to another dimension. I just didn’t care enough about this random celebrity to have gone digging—but no, he’s married to a model and lives in Florida.

I don’t know where this constructed reality came from but it still haunts me to this day, man

Gary Davis: A Taste Of Chocolate: The Very Best Of... (1982, 2019)

It almost seemed like yesterday when I moved to Ronkonkoma and first occupied a mostly un-constructed, wide-open main space made of nothing but a carpeted hallway leading to the bathroom, a boiler room with the previous family’s gardening ornaments, and a concrete floor. Discovering the closet was the fun part when I found a nok-hockey table and an obscure scent of fried pink and white balm eminating from an expired air freshener. It was an all-important time to grab some new discoveries like I always have to stamp this new chapter of living. Vinyl Frontier and Vinyle Archeologie turned up Tantor’s “Niederwohren”, L.A. Bopper’s “Saturday”, Sweet Mixture’s “House Of Fun And Love”, and Pop Eye’s “Lazy Days”, all with specific and personal aural qualities that connected me to what I used to hear during my Brooklyn childhood. Someone from one of those pages posted Chocolate Star’s “Stay With Me” and its selling factor was those heavy tumbling obnoxious drum hits that nearly broke and punctured the three-and-a-half minutes it was recorded on. It, too, joined that list of long-forgotten Seventies crate-digging grabs that would forever mark my first month in Ronkonkoma. Now I wanted more.

I tracked it down on Discogs and it led me to Gary Davis & His Professor (known as Chocolate Star) who created an untitled eight-track LP in 1982. That version of “Stay With Me” wasn’t the same as the one I found before. Instead the LP version was a more polished and finished product that was slower, chill, and more soulful with added vocals, vibes, and keys. That effort went largely unnoticed and Davis became a producer and fixture of New Jersey’s electro, hip-hop, and club scene. Crate-diggers, club heads, and random passers-by occasionally picked up on it. Only recently did The Traffic Group decide to re-up on its own 2006 re-issue of the LP and related remixes, making sure a second time the legacy of Gary Davis doesn’t go unnoticed.

Many private consumers and interior designers choose Moroccan area rug because of their modernist designs, which are quite colorful and dynamic, and their powerful sense of geometric structure. Although these rugs have a relatively short history, they are notable for their block-like geometry composition and bolder coloration. There are some interior design elements in this world that make decisions seem carefree and effortless, however. One example is the amazing Moroccan Beni Ourain rug ‍and moroccan pouf. Beni Ourain rugs are sheep wool floor coverings that aren't dyed. They're handcrafted rugs that have been favorites in North Africa for thousands of years now. The benefits of these rugs are hard to quantify. They have tribal origins and because of that look and feel authentic and natural. They're also amazingly comfortable. If you're designing a home and want a rug that epitomizes the beauty of life in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, no option can accommodate you better than a classic Beni Ourain rug. In order for a Berber rug to be authentic, it must have been made by the Beni Ourain tribe in Morocco. These rugs are still available after thousands of years of tradition, and they are still made with the same knot construction that made them so popular in the first place.

I am Noureddine and I love rugs - It is in my genes!  I am Moroccan-born but have been sharing time between Brooklyn, New York ( live in New York ), and Morocco since 2000.  All my life I have been around Moroccan rugs and learning from my 78-year-old father who is one of the best rug and kilim collectors and a certified expert.  We have traveled together all over Morocco - to the mountains, Sahara, and sea, to Berber villages and small homes, and also to many rug auctions.

I learned about carpets from my father at a very early age. He was (and still is) a Berber carpet dealer and has had a successful rug business in Marrakesh for many years.  Traveling with him as a child and observing him deal with people and carpets, I learned how to buy and sell rugs, how to clean and mend them. Also, I learned a lot about different Berber tribes and their styles and techniques of carpet weaving, but primarily, my father taught me how to deal with the artists, how to treat them respectfully and honestly in order to win their hearts and trust and establish good trade relationships. Later in my life, I started my own business and traveled abroad as a rug dealer myself. I carried with me all the knowledge that my father had given me. I sold rugs at craft shows and flea markets worldwide, including the US. At present, I continue the business selling high-quality Moroccan rugs via the internet as well.

Besides being modernist, the Moroccan rug are simplistic and relatively cheap compared to other vintage or antique rugs. Since the weavers had to move from one place to another, the vintage rugs from Morocco were designed in smaller sizes to make it easy to mount the loom. The dynamic nature of the Moroccan rugs makes them adaptable to changing interior design trends. They can suit the tastes and preferences of different homeowners and designers in many parts of the world. The wide choices of styles and colors have helped the rugs remain popular for the past century. Consumers will get rugs that suit their areas, whether they come from the hot Sahara Desert or the snowcapped Atlas Mountains. The rugs may be used in almost any room by people from different classes.

Beni Ourain rugs are more than just examples of North African culture and magnificence, however. They're also great assets for people who want practical and convenient home lifestyles. Although their geometric lines and forms are a sight for sore eyes, they bring a lot more than just aesthetic appeal to the table. These Berber rugs can give people the convenience of numerous diverse applications. If you're the type of person who likes regularly switching things up in your home, you'll have a great time with one of these rugs. They make comfortable and attractive floor rugs. That much is clear. They also make great wall hangings and hallway runners. If you're looking for stunning artwork for your residence, it may be a superb idea to use your Beni Ourain rug as an eye-catching wall hanging. People won't be able to turn away from it.

My first priority goal is to bring 100% satisfaction to my customers by providing them with high-quality authentic Moroccan rugs. I must make sure that my products satisfy all quality criteria, such as the absence of defects, smells, and stains; safe and prompt shipping, etc. One of my most important and basic values and principles includes the establishment of an honest and trustworthy relationship between me and my customers on one hand, and with the artists/craftsmen on the other.

Unfortunately, traditional arts and crafts are slowly disappearing worldwide including Morocco due to globalization and other economic and political issues. With this in mind, I would like to invest as much as possible of my resources into extending my warehouses and purchasing rare and antique Berber rug, as I see them becoming a real treasure in the future and my retirement plan at the same time. I would also like to pass my knowledge and experience on to my son.

What happened below was the result of what happened above.

Measuring a meager two miles wide by 13 miles long, 23-square-mile Manhattan Island grew into one of the world's most populace cities. Like a cohesive trunk, it grew four other branches, or boroughs, in 1898, which stretched to Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island, and became unified as New York City.

Although its insular status would have logically dictated the opposite, this jigsaw puzzle of land parcels, sandwiched between the East and Hudson rivers, was quickly fed by the Erie Canal and its bustling, East Coast ports.

Because electricity as a source of motive power had yet to become a viable option, traditional steam engine technology would forcibly have to be used, yet it was ill-suited toward anything but short, underground tunnel passage and would therefore be relegated to outside, elevated track.

Financial hurdles were likely to be considerable, and few would be willing to inject such a massive capital outlay into a transportation mode that had yet to be tested. Who, in the event, would own such a network and, even if its costs could be covered, how high would its fares have to be to do so?

Any street-level usage by track-plying trains would obviously require significant approvals, permits, and contracts Avenue south residence floor plan  from city, state, and governmental agencies and regulators.

What was needed was a method to transport its burgeoning population, which had begun to obstruct its streets as if they were clogged arteries. Tracks, laid both on and above them, would, albeit temporarily, serve that purpose before they found their way below them.

Indeed, a quad-wheeled wooden passenger car, pulled by two horses and constituting the New York and Harlem Railroad, became Manhattan's--and the world's--first horse rail company, providing surface travel between Prince and Fourteenth streets via the Bowery when it commenced service almost two centuries ago, on November 26, 1832. A byproduct, foreshadowing events to come, fostered outlying population growth and construction, enabling residents to commute from increasingly distanced dwellings to core-city businesses.

So popular had these horse railroads-along with their trackless, but equally equestrian-propelled omnibuses-become by the middle of the 19thcentury, that street congestion negated their speed advantages, resulting in traffic snarls and protracted commutes.

The only way to continue to harness the advantages of such a transportation method was to devise a means by which it could operate independently of other, competing forms, placing its rails either above or below the existing ones. In the case of Manhattan, it meant the former-and its first elevated railroad.

Designed by Charles T. Harvey, a Connecticut inventor, it employed a single, quarter-mile-long track supported by 30 columns that stretched from Day to Cortland Street and used a stationary steam engine, which propelled steel cables that in turn moved its cars. First tested on December 7, 1867, the Greenwich Street routed West Side and Yonkers Patent Railway became the world's first elevated one when it opened seven months later, on July 3. But the following year's Black Friday financial collapse, which occurred on September 24, consumed the necessary funding to either continue or expand the system.

Several other ideas for what could be considered the city's first "rapid transit" system were posed. Alfred Speer of Passaic, New Jersey, for instance, envisioned a continuously moving conveyor belt that encircled New York, enabling passengers to board and deboard wherever they needed to go, although it never eclipsed the idea circulating in his head.

Dr. Rufus Gilbert, a Civil War Army surgeon, advocated a dual pneumatic tube transportation system in 1872. Mounted in a Gothic arch above Broadway, the tubes themselves were intended as channels for circular streetcars. Although, like Speer's plan, it never saw the light of day that its elevated arrangement would have provided, it passed the torch, at least in concept, to the one that did.

Substituting steam for Charles Harvey's cables, the New York Elevated Railway inaugurated service on February 14, 1870 along Greenwich Street and Ninth Avenue, and five years later, the tracks had reached 42nd Street. The Metropolitan Railway, a second elevated company, offered definitive, inter-urban rail transportation luxury with oil lamp chandeliers, oak and mahogany walls, murals, tapestry curtains, couches, and carpeting in its first class cars, and plied its own Sixth Avenue elevated tracks by June 5, 1878.

PRLS 2105/Brooklyn College/Fall 2019 

The Nuyorican Poets Café

The definition of a latino/a in the United States has changed overtime.  These changes can be attributed to initial situations, like that of a 1st generation immigrant in the late 1800′s to present day metamorphosis of precisely this word, Latinx.  It is a blending of the circumstances, and all others to follow, of the integration of multicultural and multi-artistic expressions of life as we experience it.  This plurality has led to much debate regarding the essence and “truism” of the Latinx experience and the entitlement that many may have attached to it, constricting its plurality to one essential meaning or fit, if you may.  But a one size fits all model is not the solution to such a complex sociological construction made up by a large variation of different thoughts and experiences that somehow merge together in a city like New York.  How can we measure the immensity of such an expression and feeling?  Platforms that allow for this expression sample and expose the high volume of variation and similarities within the Latinx community.  One of those platforms is the Nuyorican Poets Café. 

The Nuyorican Poets Cafe was co founded by a group of people who shared, amongst other things, a love of expression.  Although these expressions were different in the sense that they originated based on the self experiences each artist put forth, it was the ultimate experience as a latino/a in New York City, that brought them together.  So these “encuentros” in the living room of a small apartment grew to such extent that the Nuyorican Poets Cafe was born out of a necessity  to “give voice to a diverse group of rising poets, actors, fimmakers and musicians.  The Cafe champions the use of poetry, jazz, theater, hip-hop and spoken word as means of social empowerment for minority and underprivileged artist”. (WEBSITE) In the short documentary of the Nuyorican Poets Café, Miguel Algarín, co-founder, recognized that the new generations have “recogido una necesidad oral de explicar quiénes son.”  He adds that the Café is not purely puertorican; instead, the puertorican culture that is sold has the kindness to include any other culture that wants to ”arrimarse”.  In essence, the Cafe offers the opportunity to discover the plurality of being, first and foremost, and any other branch(es) that come thereafter:  ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic, race, religion, language, culture, and politics. In the case of the co-founders, there existed a shared co experience; “El latino vivo en Nueva York”.  This shared experience facilitates “el espacio”, a space open to that sharing of common experiences.  That space (physical and non-physical) is crucial and alive in many of the works of these cofounders and others, such as Miguel Algarin’s contemplation of conversation in “HIV”as an example of a non-physical space.  Miguel Piñero’s Do Wop scene in the movie “Short Eyes” is an example of a physical space, specifically a jail space which opens the opportunity for sharing of cultural and artistic expressions of the African-American and Latino experience.  These two examples highlight the consequential purpose of the Nuyorican Poets Café; a mirror image of the outcome of such gatherings in such spaces.

This plurality of language, culture and the arts is obvious throughout the works of the artist who have used the Nuyorican Poets Café as a platform.  It is evident in Miguel Algarin’s poem “HIV”(1994) and “New Year’s Eve December 31st. 1975″. It is the ultimate expression of plurality of the Latinx community.  In these poems, Algarin expresses his reality as a New Yorker living within a time frame of health panic in the 80′s and 90′s as the AIDS epidemic was palpable.  It also reflects the Latino man in all of his machismo, living in a society where the norms and expectations often times do not leave room or make it difficult for self questioning and self discovery.  But he refers to a human experience of despair and reaction to the societal catastrophes that encompass this “being” and existence.  In his poem “HIV”, he plays with words such as revelation and revel, rebel and regret; all referencing the human interpretation of experience.  He defines language as a verb, “to tongue into sounds”.  This is an interpretation of the human experience, perhaps as an affirmation of an existence as opposed to a reaction of the need to explain latinidad.  Algarín re-introduces this oral need to communicate in his poem “New Year’s Eve” when he describes a man practically unable to use language and states “I'm overloaded crisis that results in nausea, asphyxiation and the swallowing of my tongue hay algo hay un epileptic fit trying to reduce me into a trembling mass of jellied nerves...”.  His works allude to being a Latino and New Yorker, not a Latino that happens to be in New York, referencing again the plurality of existence.

Sandra Maria Esteves also references the plurality of Latinidad as she recreates poetic images of life itself in this city, the recognition of New York serving as the stage for two worlds merged into one experience.  Using the platform of a child’s coming to be (birth), Esteves highlights the struggles that are put forth early on in this identity formation, “The meaning of war defined her. Gasping and innocent, before she knew her mother, before she discovered herself, barely alive”.  She also alludes to societal struggles, those which the child will have to prepare itself for, “The world did not want another brown, another slant-eyed-olive-indian-black-child...especially another rock-the-boat poet, another voice opened wide...”  The element of war, struggle, and fight to declare this identity is also evident in “Fighting demons” as the title suggests.  Esteves utilizes New York as an intersection/crossroad of all the elements that shape us as people.  It is the venue that allows us to go beyond barriers and borders.  In “Fighting demons”, she frames the question “What is the difference between here and there?” She subtly intertwines  roots and utilizes linguistic images to represent ancestry with reality, creating a new road map to existence and the similarities within that existence.  

With a similar background, Miguel Piñero uses his existence, his reality to express Latinidad and its plurality.  His poems are bred with cultural aspects alive in his existence in New York, this place in between where he exists as he states in “Lower East Side”, “ I don't wanna be buried in Puerto Rico I don't wanna rest in Long Island Cemetery...don't take me far away keep me near by...the Lower East Side.”  Piñero makes reference to the varying dynamics of latinidad, his experience and New York, the element that perhaps shapes his experiences evermore.  In “Black Woman With The Blond Wig On”, he exposes the fine lines oftenly crossed in the intersections of diversity in New York and utilizes his reality to question the result of the behavior presented when he states “Think that head blanket... will make the residents of forest hills lay out a black carpet to their blond streets”.  

In a very similar fashion, Peggy Robles-Alvarado utilizes her experience of New York to help illustrate or map the latino identity.  In her poem “Teeth”, Maria  de los Ángeles enters a state of latent dreams and she wrestles with her roots and her reality, the New York backdrop as she subtly includes words like “she has always preferred her city of asphalt...” to the cool mountain-side wind.  But she also explores other elements of her existence and just like Miguel Algarín and Miguel Piñero, expose their gender and at times its cultural definitions, questioning or confirming how it shapes their identity within the latinx and sociopolitical context. In the short video provided, “Plantando Banderas”, Robles-Alvarado expresses the power of the skirt, a teaching from her mother, which allows for empowerment and strength.  Both of these are abstract but she carefully integrates it into a physically existent power, a seemingly life-less skirt that almost wears her.  She uses words like “I know my place” and “Hija, your skirt can be your crutch or your soul...bridging your soul and determination”.

Overall, the art sampling provided and the backdrop of the Nuyorican Poets Café allowed for a broader examination of the circumstantial New York Latino and how it adds to the definition of being Latino.  Its useful addition of human experience allows for a universal Latino, one who recognizes the difference in experience but also embraces the elements that unite a people.

When Manafort’s turncoat lieutenant Rick Gates took the stand to detail their alleged conspiracies, I was transported to the day back in 1992 when Gotti’s underboss Sammy Gravano began singing at the federal courthouse in Brooklyn. Gotti’s lawyers attacked Sammy the Bull by demanding to know how many people he’d whacked. Manafort’s team asked Gates how many affairs he’s had.

If it seems harsh to compare Manafort to a mobster, take it up with President Trump, who got the ball rolling with a tweet before the trial began. “Looking back at history, who was treated worse, [Al] Capone, legendary mob boss . . . or Paul Manafort?” Trump mused.

And the president ought to know: He has spent plenty of time in mobbed-up milieus. As many journalists have documented — the late Wayne Barrett and decorated investigator David Cay Johnston most deeply — Trump’s trail was blazed through one business after another notorious for corruption by organized crime.

New York construction, for starters. In 1988, Vincent “the Fish” Cafaro of the Genovese crime family testified before a U.S. Senate committee concerning the Mafia’s control of building projects in New York. Construction unions and concrete contractors were deeply dirty, Cafaro confirmed, and four of the city’s five crime families worked cooperatively to keep it that way.

This would not have been news to Trump, whose early political mentor and personal lawyer was Roy Cohn, consigliere to such dons as Fat Tony Salerno and Carmine Galante. After Cohn guided the brash young developer through the gutters of city politics to win permits for Trump Plaza and Trump Tower, it happened that Trump elected to build primarily with concrete rather than steel. He bought the mud at inflated prices from S&A Concrete, co-owned by Cohn’s client Salerno and Paul Castellano, boss of the Gambino family.

Coincidence? Fuhgeddaboudit.

Trump moved next into the New Jersey casino business, which was every bit as clean as it sounds. State officials merely shrugged when Trump bought a piece of land from associates of Philadelphia mob boss “Little Nicky” Scarfo for roughly $500,000 more than it was worth. However, this and other ties persuaded police in Australia to block Trump’s bid to build a casino in Sydney in 1987, citing Trump’s “Mafia connections.”

His gambling interests led him into the world of boxing promotion, where Trump became chums with fight impresario Don King, a former Cleveland numbers runner. (Trump once told me that he owes his remarkable coiffure to King, who advised the future president, from personal experience, that outlandish hair is great PR.) King hasn’t been convicted since the 1960s, when he did time for stomping a man to death. But investigators at the FBI and U.S. Senate concluded that his Mafia ties ran from Cleveland to New York, Las Vegas to Atlantic City. Mobsters “were looking to launder illicit cash,” wrote one sleuth. “Boxing, of all the sports, was perhaps the most accommodating laundromat, what with its international subculture of unsavory characters who play by their own rules.”

But an even more accommodating laundromat came along: luxury real estate — yet another mob-adjacent field in which the Trump name has loomed large. Because buyers of high-end properties often hide their identities, it’s impossible to say how many Russian Mafia oligarchs own Trump-branded condos. Donald Trump Jr. gave a hint in 2008: “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets.”

For instance: In 2013, federal prosecutors indicted Russian mob boss Alimzhan Tokhtakhounov and 33 others on charges related to a gambling ring operating from two Trump Tower condos that allegedly laundered more than $100 million. A few months later, the same Mr. Tokhtakhounov, a fugitive from U.S. justice, was seen on the red carpet at Trump’s Miss Universe pageant in Moscow.

Obviously, not everyone in these industries is corrupt, and if Donald Trump spent four decades rubbing elbows with wiseguys and never got dirty, he has nothing to worry about from special counsel Robert S. Mueller III. But does he look unworried to you?

Planning and Executing Commercial Fit Outs

When it comes to designing your new office, commercial fit outs can really help you save money. Not only will you be able to maximize the space you have, but you can also be sure that your employees will be more productive and your customers will enjoy the ambiance of your business's premises. In addition, a good fit out can help you portray a positive image of your company to the public. Therefore, it is crucial to budget a reasonable amount for the fit out.

There are many different kinds of commercial fit-outs. There are basic fit outs, shell and core works, and tenant fit-outs. A basic fit-out generally includes raised floors, ceilings, basic mechanical and electrical services, and external surface finishes. For a tenant fit-out, you may choose to add bespoke workstations, carpeting, flooring, IT services, and other aspects of the space. The design will match the specific needs of the business and will be in accordance with local codes.

When planning a commercial fit-out, determine what reasons you'd like to make the change. Most effective fit-outs are based on analysis of how the office functions. Ask yourself how employees use the space. Find out what makes your office space a good place to work. If you ask them, they'll be happy to provide you with detailed feedback on temperature, colour palette, lighting, and other aspects. They'll also be glad to see some extra space!

In addition to the design and scope of work, make sure you hire a good fit-out company to help with the migration process. This way, the office will still look great once the fit-out is complete. Make sure you hire a company that can offer these services and is able to communicate the requirements of your business throughout the process. That way, your business will continue to run without interruptions. A company that is highly rated will be able to provide excellent fit-out services.

A good commercial fit-out should include both elements. Proper planning is critical to a successful commercial fit-out. Proper planning includes costing, detailed design, and construction. A brief should be created and agreed upon before the work can begin. It should also define the overall look and feel of the space and provide guidelines for the design process. The final handover of the space should go smoothly and on budget. For the most successful commercial fit-outs, a professional team can help you design and construct a space that will meet the needs of your business.

There are three primary types of office fit-outs. Cat B fits outs involve the construction of different rooms. Using finishes, artworks, and other details, it is possible to create a work of art while still making the space functional and attractive for the intended business. And of course, it is possible to add your brand to the space. The end result of a commercial fit-out is a space that reflects your brand and your business. If you're considering a commercial fit-out, make sure to talk to a professional today.

Office fit-outs and office renovations are often confused. Although they are related, they serve different purposes and require different procedures. Office fit-outs are aimed at transforming an empty space into an attractive, efficient workspace. It includes installing structural features like doors and walls. It may also include installing new lighting and heating systems. The latter involves updating the interior design of the space, while fit-outs focus more on the structural aspects.

The final stage of an Alpha Sense in Brooklyn involved an aesthetically pleasing fit-out for the brand. The final fit-out included multiple floors and slab cuts that connect them. The company's design also included a contrasting architectural staircase and a PA assembly area. JC Elite completed the project within the specified schedule. Aside from providing the best possible environment for the business, the team worked closely with the client to match the client's budget and schedule.

Many new office fit-outs provide acoustic privacy for employees. In an open-plan office, noise levels can increase as employees work closer to each other. Additionally, smaller partitions can make the room more noisy, which can be a problem when you need to have private conversations. In addition, modern commercial fit-outs offer private rooms for employees who need to take sensitive calls. For example, Pfizer's New London rehab included 6% of its total space for focus booths, acoustically-isolating spaces that can be used as virtual teleconferences.

1 of 43

Eggplant

In this striking London kitchen, design Rita Konig opted for cabinets from her own colorful line for Plain English in a shade of purple dubbed Burnt Toast. Calacatta Viola, a mauve-streaked marble, brings out the inky eggplant.

Pale Green

A pale green blends seamlessly between the kitchen and dining area of this “jungalow,” by Justina Blakeney, especially when paired with the Moroccan clay tile backsplash and ombre dining bar stools in the living room.

Marigold

In this DeVol kitchen, the warm marigold paint is grounded by cool gray cabinets. The floor tiles speak to the gray tones while the gold hardware complements the yellow for a cohesive whole. For a similar feel, opt for a yellow paint that’s clean and bright but also rich enough to be warming.

Peach Lacquer

This showstopping kitchen by by Michelle Nussbaumer is not afraid to play with color. The blush pink/peach and deep aqua lacquered cabinets are reflective, which means they make the space feel large (like the classic mirror trick, but colorful!).

Lavender

This kitchen is unique yet timeless, glamorous yet grounded. The lavender swirls of paint on a buttercream backdrop complement the elaborate blue chandelier, too. Then the classic, neutral cabinets and island ground the space.

Cobalt Blue

In his Brooklyn apartment, Crosby Studios designer Harry Nuriev powder-coated the surfaces in a cobalt blue for a bold, durable finish.

Dark Navy

Designed by Heidi Caillier, this kitchen is a moody masterpiece thanks to the inky, emotive shade of dark blue. The wooden counters and backsplash keep the space warm and casual while the deep, almost dark paint makes for an intimate and cozy atmosphere. In certain light, it can look totally blue, while in others, it almost looks black.

Crimson

Feeling adventurous? Take a cue from this kitchen. Interior designer Michelle Nussbaumer chose a warm color palette and packs plenty of texture-rich materials into the small space to make it feel less stark. The red anchor brings a full and sultry feel to the room.

BUY NOW Farrow & Ball Incarnadine, $110

Marine Blue

An inky, marine blue will ground a kitchen in an open space and feel more formal than a light color without being as moody and as dark as black. We also love the idea of painting the interior cabinets a color that corresponds with an accent piece in the room, like this orange cabinet designed by Arent & Pyke to match the carpet.

Shop a similar shade of blue paint below:

BUY NOW Farrow & Ball De Nimes, $110

Coral

This coral pink kitchen is like being on vacation all year long. With rattan and bamboo elements and a fresh coat of cheerful pink paint, it’s quirky, upbeat, and unique without being too over-the-top.

High-Shine Yellow

If you want a super shiny statement in your kitchen but don’t want to paint the whole room, opt for a glossy lacquered backsplash or back-painted glass, as seen in this kitchen by Danielle Colding Design. A pop of yellow never fails to cheer up a room.

Matte Black

There’s nothing sexier than matte black when it comes to kitchen paint colors. Expect, that is, when you cover the bottom of the overhead cabinets a gold mirrored material.

Shop a similar shade of black paint below:

BUY NOW Glidden Onyx Black, $22

14 of 43

Pale Yellow

Take note from this space designed by Leanne Ford Interiors and paint your kitchen a subtly sunny hue, like buttercream yellow. Then lay down an area rug with pops of coral for a fresh, bold anchor. The large drum pendant in white and gold speaks to the pretty paint color, too. Delicate and delightful.

BUY NOW Farrow & Ball Pale Hound, $100

Sage Green

Instead of painting all of the cabinets or walls, experiment with color on a statement wall. This sage green pop in a kitchen designed by Studio DB adds the perfect amount of personality. Green glass shelves and a large green bowl tie back to the unexpected color.

Shop a similar shade of green paint below:

BUY NOW Glidden Sea Glass Green, $23

Wine Red

Go glam with a high-gloss deep red reminiscent of wine. The robust, full color adds so much depth and glamour. Proof? This kitchen by Nick Olsen, where geometric tiles pump things up to the next level.

BUY NOW Farrow & Ball Brinjal, $110

Cream

If white feels too stark for you, opt for a creamer shade. It’ll still feel light and bright, but the warmer undertones will help your kitchen feel more inviting. We love how it softens the industrial elements of this kitchen designed by Elizabeth Roberts Architecture & Design.

Shop a similar shade of cream paint below:

BUY NOW Farrow & Ball Wimborne White, $110

Blush Pink

A light, delicate pink that provides just a touch of oomph looks surprisingly good when paired with more modern, streamlined, geometric pieces. In this kitchen designed by GRT Architects, the modern lines and tonal palette feel fresh and modern while the pink color makes it feel open and bright.

Shop a similar shade of pink paint below:

BUY NOW Farrow & Ball Middleton Pink, $110

Gold Leaf

There’s nothing quite like metallic to make your interiors pop. Opt for a brushed gold finish on the kitchen cabinets and introduce more down to earth materials like jute to make sure it isn’t too flashy, like in this Arent & Pyke-designed kitchen.

Shop a similar shade of gold paint below:

BUY NOW PPG Gilded Gold, $48

20 of 43

Bright Blue

Paint the lower cabinets an eye-catching sky blue and then soften things up with a super light pistachio tile for the walls, like designer Regan Baker did in this kitchen.

Light Taupe

A sandy beige keeps things neutral but stands out a little more than a cream or super light gray. We’re really digging the alternating black and gray stained wood cabinets in this deVOL kitchen, too. The varied tones (plus texture) add interest to a neutral space.

Shop a similar shade of taupe paint below:

BUY NOW Farrow & Ball Dimity, $110

Pewter

Designed by Catherine Kwong, this kitchen is a contemporary classic that will age gracefully. The steel gray cabinets contrast just a touch with the dark navy-gray kitchen island and cream ceilings for a balanced whole.

Flamingo Pink

Can’t decide on just one paint color? deVOL Kitchens’ new NYC showroom proves that you don’t have to. Choose one color for the walls and another for the lower cabinets and then use a backsplash that incorporates both. Then paint the trimmings on the upper cabinets something fun.

Shop a similar shade of pink paint below:

BUY NOW Benjamin Moore Pink Starburst, $43

24 of 43

Super Pale Blue

You don’t have to cover the entire kitchen in a bright color to add a little pop of personality. When space is limited, designate a small corner wall for your accent color. Here, interior designer Danielle Colding added a powder blue accent wall and a sculpture but kept everything else glistening and white.

Shop a similar shade of pink paint below:

BUY NOW Farrow & Ball Cabbage White, $110

25 of 43

Gray Green

It’s light enough to function like a neutral, especially if you choose a blue with gray undertones. The exposed wood beams and natural light wood stools in this deVOL kitchen make it a soft, inviting place.

Bright White

There’s nothing wrong with an all-white kitchen. This design trend, as mastered by Romanek Design Studio here, is particularly well-suited for the room where cleanliness is essential.
