From recipes to etiquette, Martha Stewart’s brilliance knows no bounds — and that goes for her decor, too. Every little detail in Martha’s kitchen is carefully crafted, and of course that includes the color of her kitchen cabinets (which is nothing short of stunning).
At first glance, you might take note of how fresh, bright, and modern the warm gray hue makes her kitchen feel. But in reality, her kitchen hasn’t been painted or renovated in quite some time — 20 years, to be exact. So what is this magical mystery color that has kept her decades-old kitchen looking brand-new and totally timeless?
Naturally, Martha didn’t just find a paint shade she liked for her cabinets — she took it one step further and created her own. It’s called Bedford Gray, and it’s Martha’s self-proclaimed signature color. In 2013 she wrote on her personal blog about her beloved Bedford Gray, which was sold through her Martha Stewart Living paint collection at The Home Depot.
“As you may know from reading this blog, there is a definite gray theme here at the farm,” Martha wrote. “I chose to paint all of the buildings the same pleasing color that I call Bedford Gray. Lay down a thick blanket of fog and the entire farm becomes Bedford Gray.”
But if you want to steal this gorgeous warm neutral hue for your own space, it’s not quite as simple as heading to your local hardware store. The color, along with the rest of the collection, was discontinued some years ago — but not all hope is lost. Martha’s new paint line, Martha by Martha Stewart, sells the same Bedford Gray you can purchase here.
