As interest rates continue to rise, homeowners will become increasingly reluctant to give up their low interest fixed-rate mortgages from a few years ago. Many will instead look to turn the dated home they can’t afford to leave into the home of their dreams. Enter designer Mary Massey, who turned this very basic builder grade tract home kitchen into a chef’s dream that will almost certainly become the family hub for her lucky clients. What I love about Mary’s design is that she’s not afraid to incorporate a little color. So many kitchens play it completely safe with all black and white. Check out these gorgeous bluish-green (seafoam?) backsplash tiles. Amazing. Every detail in Mary’s design is spectacular. Enjoy the before and after photos to get a real sense of what you can do to a kitchen if you hire the right person. And be sure to check out more of Mary Massey’s work at her website here.
