Christopher Peacock's Own Kitchen(7)

Chris Discusses Color
After founding his kitchen design business in 1992--largely based on white cabinets--Christopher Peacock began offering a paint collection. One of the advantages of white cabinets, he points out, is the never-ending opportunities for adding colors on walls and via fabrics. The designer has painted his own kitchen three times in five years, most recently in a warm gray shade called "Abbey Walls." Roman shades in an orange-and-white fabric add warm accents. "I love orange, and it works well with the gray. It's fun but very classic."
