The Plight of White

Believe it or not, there are people out there who don’t like white kitchens. I know. It’s true. Wrap your arms around yourself and pretend I’m giving you a consoling hug. It’ll be OK. These people think white is too blah. Too sterile. Too cold. To commonplace. Too trendy.

But guess what? It’s a little-known fact that the kitchen cabinets in Buckingham palace have always been white. So there’s your proof that white cabinets are not just a flash in the pan trend. (So what if I just made that fact up, how do you know it’s not true?) Besides, white can’t be trendy. It’s white! Does anyone go around yelling at the clouds for being such a stupid trendy color? No.

I think we’ve derailed here. Let’s back up. White doesn’t have to mean cold and sterile. I love how Michelle brightened up this kitchen with white cabinets, but she kept the original backsplash which helps maintain a lot of warmth. And you can always add in any color you want with accessories! Grand total here (not counting the new countertops): $200!
