A White Kitchen

By: H. Iacobacci-Miller

A white kitchen might sound stark and cold, but it doesn't have to be. White is no longer simply "white". It is French Vanilla, Eggshell, Cream, and the list goes on. These subtle colors mixed with white add a feeling of warmth to your walls and cabinets.

For a white kitchen, countertops, flooring and accessories help to bring out the true tones in the "white".

Take a look at this gorgeous kitchen from Better Homes and Gardens. It is a white kitchen, but definitely not stark. It is rich and warm with a subtle glow.

The tongue-and-groove planks replaced outdated acoustic ceiling tile giving added architectural interest. Hefty crown molding adds to the traditional feel of the space. The granite countertops add a sense of weight and color.
