This timeless kitchen balances frameless, touch-to-open cabinetry with warm, creamy hues against a walnut backdrop.

The refined, straight wood grain is a wonderful contrast to the heavily veined marble backsplash, and the airy, open upper shelving allows for an artful display of wine glasses, cookbooks, or dinnerware sets.

A vanilla-toned custom-veneer island and lower cabinetry are bridged by a slab of walnut butcher block, which doubles as a dinette and extra counter space.

The appliance wall carries the walnut motif across the kitchen and features subtle yet functional cabinet lighting.
