If this reminds you of a movie kitchen, there's a good reason -- it was designed by James Radin, the interior designer who created the wet dream of a kitchen in "Something's Gotta Give" (and whom we can credit with launching a white kitchen trend that's still going strong).
Cabinets, ceiling, and trim are painted White Dove by Benjamin Moore. Tiles, sinks, and faucets are by Waterworks. Stone and wall oven, warming drawer, microwave, and hood are Viking. Countertops are Carrara marble. Floors are stained antique walnut.

Love this kitchen by the lovely Ruthie Sommers, who's so talented at mixing eras and styles. This Long Island beach house feels pretty perfect: modern kitchen appliances (a stainless steel dishwasher and farmhouse sink) are paired with vintage pendant lamps and salvaged chairs (which Sommers painted yellow). Countertops are zinc.

Another view of Lauren McGrath's living room. I'm not crazy about the curtains (an IKEA find), but I love that she bought the cane-sided chair on craigslist for $25. (She painted it black, reupholstered it in inexpensive dressmaker's cloth, and trimmed it with scraps of brown velvet. )
The dresser belonged to her grandparents; she painted it white and outfitted it with new hardware from Anthropologie. And I'm betting that Spitzmiller-look-a-like lamp, on top, is this Robert Abbey gourd lamp.
The "Odette" loveseat is from Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams. The vintage yellow lamp is a flea market find; the Swedish occasional tables are from a consignment shop.

Designer Angela Free used four different shades of Benjamin Moore white paint in this living room: Spanish White on the inner wall molding; White Dove on the outer wall molding; White Opulence on the molding and crown trim; and Sand Dollar on the ceiling. Free describes this latter color as a "a very pale rosy white"; she painted it in high gloss to create "a soft reflective glow." Decorative artist Katherine Jacobus painted a subtle faux linen effect on all the molding to give it a sense of depth and dimension.
Free writes: "My objective with this room was to create a sense of light, calm, and livable comfort -- an intimacy and a juxtaposition of soft colors popped with contrasts. Richness and depth in fabrics and window treatments are minimized to allow as much light as possible to enter the space."
