You know my favorite color combo is blue and white, right? Any shade of blue really… grey-blue, navy blue, sea-blue, you name it. So naturally when I came across navy and white kitchen cabinets having a moment, I had to share!

The Studio McGee design team have done a few kitchen reno’s utilizing navy cabinets on the lowers with white cabinets on the top. It’s pretty safe to say that white subway tile is the perfect backsplash to pull the color coordinating cabinets together. Of course I’m partial to gold hardware but silver does just the trick within these kitchens as well. If only I had my own kitchen to redesign! Would you try this latest kitchen trend?

Gray Malin is one of my all time favorite photographers. His aerial bird’s eye view of the world’s best beaches have made his work a staple in homes across the country. I am such a fan of his work that I knew I had to have one of his pieces for my One Room Challenge! You can see the piece I ended up choosing for the challenge right here. Anywho, I came across Gray Malin’s home tour today and wanted to share with you guys.

What I love most about Gray’s home is that hes mastered the essence of West Palm Beach. With the use of a bold palm tree print in the bedroom, classic orange and white umbrellas on the patio, and touches of navy throughout the entire space, I am dying for an invite to his next dinner party! Also, can we please talk about his custom blue border roman shades for a second? These are so right up my alley…classic decor with a side of prep. Yes, please!

Gray Malin’s kitchen also incorporates one of my favorite kitchen trends of the moment: white kitchen cabinets on top mixed with navy kitchen cabinets on the bottom. I have actually been meaning to do a whole blog post on this trend as I’ve been seeing it pop up more and more as of late!

Be sure to get the look below and shop a few classic Gray Malin pieces below! Happy Shopping. Xo. Lauren
