I love this casual kitchen by Steven Sclaroff in the April issue of House Beautiful. It is a “right” size (one of my trends for 2012), informal, working kitchen.  And, it is practical in every sense; dishes, glasses and pots are within easy reach.

But, what I love most of all is the tile that clads the entire space. It makes it so easy to keep the kitchen looking pristine and the grid, which is emphasized by the choice of grout color, adds a wonderful texture. Even though it another white kitchen, it has great personality.
