THIS PAGE: This pied-à-terre in Summit, New Jersey, demonstrates the beauty in the subtle sophistication of a quiet, neutral palette. Taj Mahal quartzite sets the stage for
a series of warm white tones, including the creamy cabinets and satin gold accents that add a nod to understated glamour. The sunlit island provides the perfect perch for
morning coffee with the paper.
FACING PAGE: A moody shade of gray with blue undertones provided the inspiration for the color palette of the kitchen renovation in this 1929 American Colonial home. We
balanced the sharp contrast of the black hardware against the bright white cabinets by the repetition of the island cabinet color on the range hood. The sophistication of this
kitchen was further enhanced by the seamless integration of the cooktop with the cabinets below.

" The fascinating thing about white kitchens is that they can
delightfully convey so many different moods; they truly are a blank
slate in the best possible way."
