White, Grey & Wood

Paraphrased from New England Home writer Paula Bodah, this kitchen was designed with clean white shaker-style cabinets mixed with brushed brass hardware giving the space its classic look; while the use of various textures and colors gives it personality.

One bank of cabinetry was designed with a dreamy blue-gray paint harboring a built-in beverage station of warm oak, a material that Karen and Laura chose to repeat in the floating shelves near the sink.

The island is lit by three pendant lights with ceramic shades acting as a textural counterpart to the glossy white subway-tile backsplash walls.

“People often put crown moldings at the top of cabinets, but we did a very simple molding with square details.” Karen states in an interview with Paula, which helps add to the classic look that was carried out throughout the rest of the home.
