A White Palette is Elegant

Julie Miller from Julie Miller Designs based in Orinda California is a fun and light hearted client to work with so I didn’t feel any hesitation in letting her know my thoughts of her design sensibility. “White”, I told her, “all of your kitchens are white”. Thinking of her as the Richard Meire of kitchen’s she was quick to correct me and let me know that there was one kitchen that we shot that wasn’t white, between me and you, the kitchen was very close to white. Regardless of the narrow selection in color when it comes to Julie’s Kitchen’s she makes up for it in her use of stone and tile selection as well as her simple use of elegant lines and hints of traditional aesthetics.

Here are some samples from our Walnut Creek shoot earlier this month.
