Beautiful Blues • White kitchen cabinets don’t have to be the go-to. For this moody, sophisticated space overlooking Bellingham Bay in Washington, designer Lisa Staton chose Farrow & Ball’s Hague Blue with green undertones. “The color gives the room a depth and richness that works well with the seaside setting,” she says. Open shelving plays up the casual feel, while the brass pot rail adds another layer of practicality, she adds.
