This $53K Kitchen Renovation Is the Anti-HGTV Aesthetic

2 of 10

The color-drenched New York kitchen of Nicholas Hussong and Masha Tsimring (and their cat, Watson) is an exercise in renovating for high impact with as little work as possible. They went for materials with texture, including Clé zellige tiles in Fired Opal on the backsplash and a sintered stone countertop, and their contractor painted Ikea cabinets with Benjamin Moore’s Racing Orange.
