Now, take all the savings you get by remodeling within the small space that already exists, and then add the reduced monthly cost of living in the home, and you have the budget to remodel a basic little 1950s home into one that feels a little like a luxurious hotel suite.

The exterior of the home features a warm grey Sherwin-Williams exterior paint and is highlighted by a custom designed LED light- ing plan by NAUHAUS Lighting & Decor, Inc. The lighting plan features a down lit lighting scheme as opposed to the traditional up-lighting, giving a better sense of security and really highlighting the exterior design of the home. Additional exterior features include custom window seals by Precast Materi- als along with pavers in the backyard area to create a patio for the outdoor kitchen.
