Paint Color for Cabinets
We painted the walls VALSPAR Salute, a creamy white with green/grey undertones
![Valspar Salute paint color. Shop my kitchen and find a helpful resource Guide For a Decidedly Simple Serene Grey Kitchen in Arizona!](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/valspar-salute.jpg)
and used this paint in a satin finish to paint the kitchen cabinets:

Stainless PrintShield French Door Frig
Crazy about this frig which functions as well as its headturning good looks. When we bought our KitchenAid suite of appliances, the finish was called Smudge-Proof, but it appears to now be termed “PrintShield.” I love this finish so much more than my standard stainless finish on the appliances in our Chicagoland home.

Slide-in Gas Range With PrintShield Finish
Such an amazing cooker with gorgeous, pro-style looks. I’m a sucker for gorgeous appliance hardware and can’t say enough about the handles on these babies.

Modern Stainless Tea Kettle
While my Ottoni kettle seems to not be available, here’s one in the same spirit…

Over the Range Microwave
You can bake (up to 425 degrees) in this hardworking microwave which (am I a broken record or what?) is so lovely to look at as well.

Kitchen Cabinet Hand-Forged Hardware by Top Knobs
These are not just any knobs and pulls, and once you see how they are crafted you’ll better understand the price point. What an incredible way to upgrade builder-grade cabinets and elevate the everyday since it’s something you’ll be using and looking at for many years.

Calacatta Gold Honed Marble Hex Mosaic Tile
I absolutely love how an expanse of this hex mosaic tile looks in a space since it takes on a very painterly quality. It was not difficult to install, and we opted for white grout. Yum!

Blue-Gray Dinnerware
It’s inexpensive, not too trendy, and just the right shade of blue-grey!
