Are your kitchen cabinets also white? Thanks! - I love this and would like to do something similar in our breakfast area, but our lichen cabinets are brownish and can't be matched, so we're not sure what color to do the desk area. »

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Heffernan was a little worried that the wall color she chose — Benjamin Moore's Gray Owl — would make the room cold. But it ended up balancing perfectly with the dark wood floors, which are made of red oak and stained with a matte chocolate brown stain. At this desk space, she had the paint magnetized, which makes it perfect for hanging up little notes and photos.

Lots of storage. Maybe close in the top shelf. The chair is supposed to be super comfy for a backless chair, necessary to push under the desk, and is $99 at Pottery Barn.

Command Center - file cabinets in two larger drawers to the left, cork board backsplash, would want a few outlets here for charging cell phones and what not, like the light under the top cabinets, not sure we need to be able to sit here though, envision this as more of an area you pass by to get/relay relevant information quickly.
