Gordo's walnut & white kitchen
Comments (31)This is beautiful! What a huge difference between the before and after! YouâÂÂve really made an amazing transformation of the space -- all the time spent on the design was worth it -- itâÂÂs perfect. Being a lover of all things modern, I am drooling at your finishes (especially the walnut, holy cow!) and I can definitely see the Sochi influence in your materials and design. Thanks for sharing. These pics are definitely going into my âÂÂin my next homeâ filesâ¦....See MorePhotos of my almost done White and Walnut kitchen/mudroom remodel

Anyone choosing to pay extra for walnut should always beware of the risk of lightening over time, however, as it is a photosensitive wood. Walnut lightens over time in an opposite way as cherry darkens over time--different reactions to sunlight....See MoreAlek Davis
