We recently came across this graphic black and white kitchen. Our initial reaction was that while it was a fun way to add some character to the space, we'd probably grow tired of it in a year or two. Well, Suki from the fabulous Finnish blog Varpunen (featured here in January) is one step ahead of us.
Suki wanted to update her basic kitchen, but with a move on the horizon she didn't want to do anything drastic. Inspired by her love of geometric patterns, Suki used tape (or stickers...the translation is a little rough) to create the design. So when her style changes or she makes that move, her kitchen update is easily removable. To see more images of Suki's kitchen, visit Varpunen: Ugh!
We think this is a great idea for rental kitchens or those that are commitment phobic. Has anyone used a similar method to update a room in your home?

Vertigo has already kicked in from just viewing the picture for 3 seconds.
the Finnish translates as "with tape", for what it's worth.
Good Lord! Man, that exemplifies ugly. Sorry.
While this black and white kitchen may not be the best execution of stickers on cabinets, the previous owners of our house used stickers to decorate our kitchen cabinets. It looks great and really gives the kitchen a touch of uniqueness. We get lots of compliments on it, although it always pains me to have to tell people I did not do the stickers myself:) You can see part of it here:

(scroll down to the 2nd photo, sorry I can't figure out how to link to it directly). The stickers continue onto the pantry and some other cabinets. Very nicely placed. Luckily the previous owner was a graphic designer and really had an eye for these things!
No, no, no, {seizure}, no.
