White Kitchen

I like white kitchens. They feel fresh and clean. A blank canvas in which to create wonderful meals and memories. This kitchen I shot for Jenni Leasia Design features a high contrast look with black countertops, white tiles, white cabinets, and large aged wooden chandeliers. It feels very sophisticated with the unique island work sink, curved ceiling, and high end appliances. I also like the open shelves on the right that create a showcase for plates and glassware. All in all, a very well composed space.

This heat gun is great for drying joint compound, primer and paint when patching drywall and plaster walls. Plus it can soften adhesive, get a very cold small engine to start, and shrink heat-shrink tubing.
