Classic White Kitchen or Handsome Walnut?

10 years ago

We had a little fun with our summer intern, Bridget. We
asked her to create two dream kitchens based on the same floor plan.

The first kitchen features
Peruvian Walnut island countertops, a black La Cornue range, and white painted
cabinets – a Classic look.

The
second kitchen, “Handsome Walnut”, uses a stained dark walnut cabinet combined
with a soapstone countertop, Wolf range, and steel colored accents.

Vote for your favorite. Or do
you like both? We’d love to hear your comments too...

Classic White
Handsome Walnut
I can't decide! They could BOTH be my dream kitchen!

    I love the Classic White because of the countertops and La Cornue range. SO glad it's not stark white! Gorgeous job on both, Bridget!

    Classic white is in vogue these days - and I think it looks lighter and airier, which I like

    A red range would make quite a statement! We love appliances with a pop of color, @tooky58. Thank you for your vote and your willingness to comment!

    I prefer your walnut board but usually I go for white when so many cabinets.

    I'm so over "dark kitchens". As well put together as that space looks to be, I would hate to enter my kitchen if it was that dark. Lovely finishes...not my cup of tea.

    Bridget has done a great job on both concepts, some very interesting elements and combinations. Which would I choose? Without an understanding of the other areas and elements within the home I could not honestly answer that question. In fact as I pondered between the two I saw the possibility of using certain elements from each to derive another option. Maybe that should be the next challenge!!

    I know it can be a bit nerve racking when you put your ideas out in the public domain for comment. Don't hesitate and Keep up the great work!

    Oh goodness they are both amazing if price is no object. Always a dream! I like them both so much that it would make no difference which one I picked. Bridget I hope your design life provides you with such great clients!!

    Handsome Walnut because I do not like white kitchen cabinets!

    I prefer stained cabinets, but don't care for the other selections that are part of that option. I had white cabinets for 15 years (not by choice) and prefer to never have them again. I didn't vote since there is not an option if you wouldn't select either submitted plan.
