But because she feared that it would be hard to maintain with her two kids, she went with natural walnut cabinets instead, along with a few white cabinets and white countertops. “This way she would not have to feel as though her kitchen had to be in perfect condition,” says designer Kristianne Watts.

This streamlined kitchen design features beautiful walnut cabinets, Silestone countertops and light hardwood flooring. A small island in the center provides a place to enjoy breakfast.
