Spotlight On: White Kitchens
Houzz Contributor. Hi There! I currently live in a 1920s cottage in Atlanta that I'll describe as "collected."
I got into design via Landscape Architecture, which I studied at the University of Virginia. I've been writing about design online for quite a few years over at Hatch: The Design Public Blog.

It turns out that "white kitchen" is one of the most sought-after design terms on the internet. Much as I love a white kitchen, there is one word that sums up why one would never function for me: Cabernet. It would leave a pattern of rings all over that gorgeous Carerra marble in my dream white kitchen. However, for those of you who drink and eat only white food and imbibe only clear drinks, this ideabook is for you.

| This is about as all-white as a kitchen can be. With the exception of the floor, these people have totally gone for it. |

| This mostly-white kitchen has a few vintage touches, like the schoolhouse pendant lights, drawer pulls and Tolix stools, which keeps it from being cold and sterile. |

| Here the same designer used some more fanciful touches, like that fabulous spherical pendant, the S-scroll door pull, the patterned floor and the details on the glass cabinet doors to add personality to a white slate. |

| This island's warm brown wood provides the big accent color and texture. It's a wonderful contrast in an otherwise all-white kitchen. |

| Another way to add some contrast is via the backsplash. This black backsplash underneath the range hood provides depth in this light kitchen. |

| White is a great place to start when designing a kitchen. The other colors and textures that stand out against the white background in this kitchen are wonderful—the warm wood dining table, the eclectic chairs, the barstools, the window trim, the beams. |

| I have a sneaking suspicion these counters were picked with Cabernet lovers in mind! This is how we can do a white kitchen! |
