Shaker-style cabinets from Pioneer – in white for the wall and base cabinets, contrasting with a dark espresso stain on the island – provide the foundation for this Plymouth kitchen remodel. But what really steals the show is the “pallet wall” wood-grain tile used for the backsplash and repeated on the back of the peninsula. Soft gray Cambria Carrick counter tops tie this neutral palette together.

Details: Convenient under-counter beverage refrigerator is located away from the main cooking area to ease congestion. Distinctive pantry wall provides plenty of easy-access storage. Undermount sink, designer (full) overlay cabinet doors, and smooth-profile crown molding create clean lines throughout the kitchen.
