kitchen

I think we need white cabinets to make the kitchen brighter. However, a lot of white cabinet kitchens look ordinary, plain and boring. And sometimes the look is too modern. How do you use interesting elements to give a white kitchen depth, design and a feel of luxe? Beautiful chandeliers? Intricate molding? Designer backsplash? Different colored island and cabinets?
*probably don't want curtains in the kitchen, nook or family room. would like to keep the look clean and bright.

So far this is our favorite kitchen. Transitional. Like chandelier. Like the mix of white and dark color. Like the luxe feel. Love everything about this kitchen but don't know if it would fit the rest of our house.

Love the chandeliers. Gives the white kitchen much more character.

Like this kitchen quite a bit. Ornate cabinets but with a modern twist. Like the white bright feel. Like the contrast of white cabinets and dark island top. More interesting that way. Only concern is whether the wood top is durable.

Love this. Love the chairs: very french but w a modern twist. And love the round table. We need a round table for our nook. This would be the ideal nook!

I do need a place like this in the kitchen, perhaps not chalkboard but magnetic whiteboard. And not too prominent.

Got to have a drawer like this for the cutting boards! Useful!

Transitional. Nice. But a bit bland.

Not bad. But don't like the wood color. Looks too brown and old. Don't like the chairs. Too old-fashion.

Good corner drawer.

The floor color is beautiful.

Overall not bad, but too plain.
