Look carefully at this clever nook - they have managed to fit in a kitchen office and another cabinet! It's doing triple duty.

The kitchen was opened up to a brand-new mud room and the adjacent family room.

The gray cabinet here inspired this ideabook.

Use your white painted casing as a jumping off point. In some homes there's just a tone of white painted casing, woodwork, beadboard, and other architectural elements. It really helps to give some relief to all that white by adding a splash of color here and there. This soft gray-sage kitchen desk is a great example. And see how the white baseboard transitions across the bottom to tie it in with the rest of the space.

The kitchen reconfiguration includes a bump-out which provides enough space for an eating nook, mini office and fantastic windows. See the rest of this homeWhat does "traditional" mean to you? Please share in the comments section. Also, take a stab at renaming "transitional." To me, it's just not a descriptive enough word to define an entire style.
