During December, this kitchen time probably doubles around here...if not triples. The heart of the home and the hub for most holidays, it's important to get this special room right.  For me, I prefer the clean look and neutral background that an all white kitchen provides.  All white walls, counters and cabinets allow the beautiful appliances, hardware and lighting to figuratively <i>and</i> literally shine.  Poking around the gorgeous portfolio of <a href="http://www.obrienharris.com/project-one.html" target="_blank">O'Brien Harris</a>, I picked up a few great ideas and ways to improve my own white kitchen. Adding mirrors to a few of my upper cabinets might be a chic way to hide the clutter within.<br /><a name="more"></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTmKPGBRYrT3gPZxqGCCRkkomIJS7FuV9iYxDs8Ib1uqIpTp4rD6Z-IdtNd1gGMh5GU9JGYfBy10XNOBwZ9LlBmIxoW7Ee5NN16_VKeXzlHzBgfLkRuWJqLWvgvuTX374JwMpxbiCeVkc/s1600/project4-B.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTmKPGBRYrT3gPZxqGCCRkkomIJS7FuV9iYxDs8Ib1uqIpTp4rD6Z-IdtNd1gGMh5GU9JGYfBy10XNOBwZ9LlBmIxoW7Ee5NN16_VKeXzlHzBgfLkRuWJqLWvgvuTX374JwMpxbiCeVkc/s1600/project4-B.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJyx9kutDKWxd6RH0ews93EthlmjGDskGf1jXYFxjXd9uZKQ-g6ZrhIr-wlZCupcJbOfwKGxl3cN3foNtM06avR5aih2v9PfrMRx3pVD8O9Ixv_zYUw9E09IkvBPzFcInU4hmWsVx_6a4/s1600/O.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJyx9kutDKWxd6RH0ews93EthlmjGDskGf1jXYFxjXd9uZKQ-g6ZrhIr-wlZCupcJbOfwKGxl3cN3foNtM06avR5aih2v9PfrMRx3pVD8O9Ixv_zYUw9E09IkvBPzFcInU4hmWsVx_6a4/s1600/O.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPwFTYxkII8SnzDjplO6Ke852yhAmMk3E2uu66GidLHVmg7vb-GL6dmxDyr-iErHH3ljJJu_ypCNjRL92YenSqbm4DRO6HEPozjQjGu76NidlkUMszZ902-196xQbiMzmZNW7XJ0UPdzM/s1600/A.jpg" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgft-XawFX8e2cv665oIP7k3w_aFdeeVIc6hDYwTdG1g3v6m-ZtGgXm-Up1_o7s18ZTCG92bquqZO_yhpNKWGdQCSJIFYHn7RIPX1ABtGjrlf9cTkkhHcAuAB4fiuN8YdtpTSGM35pQsgw/s1600/205547170464672288_SQFlWRgK_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgft-XawFX8e2cv665oIP7k3w_aFdeeVIc6hDYwTdG1g3v6m-ZtGgXm-Up1_o7s18ZTCG92bquqZO_yhpNKWGdQCSJIFYHn7RIPX1ABtGjrlf9cTkkhHcAuAB4fiuN8YdtpTSGM35pQsgw/s1600/205547170464672288_SQFlWRgK_c.jpg" /></a></div><br /></div>
