With Wood This Austin, Texas, contemporary
kitchen has a polished concrete floor, so
architect Don Harris used white oak on the
kitchen island and the accent wall, and as slats
over the clerestory windows, to add warmth. 9.
Age-Old Appeal Though all the materials and
furnishings in this Pennsylvania farmhouse
kitchen are new, the designer selected
weathered-steel stools and a dining table made
from reclaimed wood for a lived-in look.

8. Traditional Charm The lantern-inspired
pendant lights from The Urban Electric Co. and
the classic beadboard ceiling featured in this
Connecticut kitchen provide a timeless appeal and
traditional charm. 7. All Good in the Hood The
custom range hood covered in the same gray-washed
wood used to build the island in this elegant
Naples, Florida, kitchen successfully lifts the
eye. Of course, the stunning gold chandelier
above the island also garners some attention. 6.
Handmade Highlight This suburban Chicago kitchen
hits a lot of the popular design notes today
subway tile, marble countertop and dual-oven gas
range. But the handmade wood shelves with forged
iron brackets make the signature statement.

5. X Marks the Spot The contrasting island
cabinets painted in Sherwin-Williams Bracing
Blue make a stylish statement in this New York
kitchen. But notice how the metal straps on the
pendant lights and the back of the island stools
have a similar X shape a design detail that
marks the spot. 4. Oversized Impact This
sublime kitchen in the historic district of
Boston is awash in cream tones. But the dramatic
oversized Goodman pendants by Thomas OBrien
above the butcher block island happily steal the
show. 3. Bringing In the Green The designer of
this kitchen in Manchester, England, included
green elements. The painted island cabinets,
pendant lights and tiled backsplash behind the
range all pull in the verdant flora of the
courtyard seen through the floor-to-ceiling
atrium windows.

2. Black-and-White Beauty Stacked wall cabinets
and a custom range hood provide a backdrop of
white in this New York kitchen, while the ebony
stained wood flooring and contemporary stools
bring in the black. The countertop, which looks
like marble but is actually quartzite, ties the
two colors together. 1. Chic Contrast Designer
Susan Klimala felt that creating some visual
contrast in this nearly all-white kitchen in
suburban Chicago was key. White inset cabinets,
quartzite countertops, subway tile and nickel
accents provide a traditional feel. The gray
island is a needed contrast to the dark wood
flooring, Klimala writes.
