If you don’t believe paint can do magic tricks, this kitchen makes a convincing case.⁠ ⁠ The architecture already had plenty worth keeping, so rather than start over, we freshened what was there—leaning into elements that felt classic while introducing a few notes from today.⁠ ⁠ The existing lower cabinets were painted black and finished with brass hardware. Even the ceramic tile backsplash was repainted on-site. Along with plaster, styling, and a handful of carefully considered updates, the kitchen took on an entirely different character without a gut renovation.⁠ ⁠ A good reminder that transformation isn’t always about replacing more. Sometimes it’s about seeing what’s already there differently.⁠ ⁠ Interiors: benjaminjohnstondesign⁠ Photography: juliesoefer⁠ Styling: jbheditorial⁠ ⁠ #kitchendesign #interiordesign #kitchenrenovation #residentialdesign #luxuryinteriors
