Balancing Hard and Soft
Designer Marianne Brown sourced simple, timeless materials in her kitchen that will look classic in years to come. Subway tile makes up the backsplash. The brushed brass hardware adds warmth to all the white in the kitchen and balances the sleek quartz countertops.

A Classic Modern U-Shaped Kitchen
Designer Marianne Brown chose finishes that are simply classic — white cabinetry paired with brushed brass hardware, a farmhouse sink, subway tile backsplash, and a gorgeous round island. She opted against any pendant light in the kitchen — the recessed lighting keeps it simple with nothing hanging above.
