When Emily is asked to help with kitchen and bathroom remodels, she always looks to the most sustainable and low-cost options first. The layout, appliances, cabinetry, kitchen backsplash, and flooring in this home were all in good shape. Therefore, painting every surface, acquiring new hardware, countertops, window treatments, and vanity for the bathroom were all that was required.

They had also recently had the dining room and living room painted in Benjamin Moore's HC-82 Bennington Gray, which was a beautiful start to the home's new palette throughout. Using the existing art, exchanging rugs in the office and breakfast nook, and bringing a hallway rug into the bathroom also kept the budget very low. The homeowners were stunned at how inexpensive this transformation was and delighted to retain so many of their existing decor items.
