AFTER: Deb had done her research, spending years saving catalogs and brochures, keeping clippings in a shoebox and spending many late nights online looking at appliance reviews and different types of counters. Working with Elisabeth Loeser of Renovations Group, she and Michael came up with a more efficient layout and updated finishes that gave Deb the dream kitchen she always wanted.
A strong attention to detail added life to the kitchen’s now-mostly-white color palette, such as on the white painted transitional cabinets with full overlay doors and a pewter accent placed only on the edges for definition. “A white kitchen can be boring and flat, so we made sure to add visual texture,” Loeser says.
Visual texture also comes from the beveled subway tile backsplash with a dove-gray grout, highlighted by a strip of marble mosaic tiles that add dimension. Super White granite counters with gray veining were an alternative to Deb’s first choice of marble, which she decided would be too impractical. “The granite counters are beautiful and look just like marble,” she says. “This granite has a nice wave and some sparkle to it.”
There’s also a hint of gray in the white paint used for the walls and in the paint on the ceiling that punctuates the soothing and elegant look.
