This bright transitional kitchen balances white Shaker cabinetry and crisp black hardware with a marble waterfall island finished in beadboard and lined with sculpted wood stools. Cream, hand-glazed square tiles warm the backsplash beneath a plaster range hood and matte-black pot filler. Brass bridge faucet and fluted dome pendants add soft sheen, while herringbone oak floors and a black wall oven ground the airy palette with timeless, tailored contrast.
