HGTV Dream Home 2006: Kitchen Pictures

Seasonal Setting

Deep grays, rich brown woods and accents of golden yellow work together to create a room that's comfortable and welcoming. Designer Linda Woodrum wanted to make the kitchen, the heart of every home, as inviting as possible. And the distinctive views of the mountain ridges and lake in one direction, and of the magnificent stacked stone fireplace and the outdoor living area in another direction, begged for special consideration.

Linda outlined the large view window with the same dark trim she used in the living room. The walls are painted a pale, neutral gray. Cabinets were custom-made for the house in a beautiful slate gray, and the Silestone countertop is \"Gray Amazon.\" Stainless-steel appliances continue the neutral color scheme. The various shades of gray provide a rich patina of color that blends beautifully with the warm wood of the center island and the chocolate brown rug in the eating area.
