BFF AM’s bright white kitchen East Hampton, NY with fabulous marble counters and a kitchen window that she designed with a lattice covering. (June 2016)
Another view of AM’s kitchen.
From the Blog Archive June 9, 2016
Best of friend AM + her hubby JE has a fabulous all-white kitchen in their East Hampton home. It is a nice size open kitchen with a large long island with Carrara marble counters, stainless appliances, white glass front upper cabinets, a custom white lattice over the kitchen windows, and red Saltillo tile floors for a bit of contrast. Love the kitchen in AM’s weekend house. I love it so much I am going back for a visit in a few weeks! Woot Woot!
The best part is that you can add color in particular places…whether it be gold light fixtures like the kitchen shown below or it can be in the barstools or an area rug like the Kitchen below from designer Jessica Today.
I love when marble countertops or just the right wooden barstools can be incorporated into the design of kitchen space, they add extra elegance …okay well now I’m off to figure out how I can add one if not all of these looks to my current kitchen space.

The first step is finding the right white paint color.

The Best White Paint Colors
Who knew picking out white paint can be so difficult? Do you want warm undertones? A hint of blue? Maybe, you want something crisp! There are so many choices. Here are the top white paint colors according to Benjamine Moore.
Super White OC-152
A bright paint with lightly cool undertones conveys clarity and simplicity. I used this color on the exterior of the COCOCOZY Design House.
Simply White OC-117
With just a bit of warmth, this clean, crisp white is a choice for usage throughout the home.
Chantilly Lace OC-65
A timeless white that evokes memories of fresh cotton and pure silk.
Swiss Coffee OC-45
Beautiful white paint with just the right amount of warmth.

The Benefits of A Bright White Kitchen
Bright & Airy
The main reason AM wanted another white kitchen is that it brightens up the space. Experts use white paint to hide imperfections like dents in a wall or drywall blemishes. If you’re afraid to commit to a fully white room, then add details like white crown molding and other craftsman accents.
Larger Appearance
If your kitchen feels small then bright white wall paint will improve the appearance of your kitchen. It gives the illusion of an open space by bouncing natural light. It’s a budget-friendly hack for improving your kitchen design.
Timeless Color
Despite some designers arguing that “stark white is out,” the color white can never go out of style. It’s timeless and complements all types of home design styles: traditional, modern, contemporary, bohemian, industrial, and beyond.

Which of these bright white kitchens do you like best? I am partial to my bff’s!
