""Since our house was originally built in the '50s, we were able to purchase the home completely flipped - walls torn down, turning into an open concept, new drywall, and also finishes like the mosaic gray backsplash.""
""Our goal and vision were warm, neutral, and bright. Even with white cabinets, the dark countertops and mosaic backsplash made the kitchen feel darker than it was.""
""Open shelving has always been an inspiration - to be able to style and add texture elements was a must!""
""The project started with the backsplash removal, followed by the subway tile installation. That alone brightened up the space.""
Purchasing a flipped house offers immediate benefits, allowing homeowners to move into a turnkey property. Jessica Bui transformed her 1950s home, originally flipped with modern finishes, by updating the kitchen. She replaced the dark mosaic backsplash with subway tile and raised cabinets to the ceiling, incorporating open shelving for warmth and texture. Although a full renovation was not feasible, these changes significantly brightened the space and aligned with her vision of a warm, neutral aesthetic.
