warned, “White walls just don’t get it done.” In this rehab, the team used shades of cool gray to keep things light and bright without being too stark.

V aughan noted that his Maryland rehabs are often heavily damaged or older properties, which means extensive renovations before a property goes to market. “With that older housing inventory, your renovation costs

are higher because you will have to replace, update, and upgrade infra- structure,” he said. Here are a few of the things Vaughan says will likely help your rehab proj- ect stand out from the rest, as well as a few things you cannot overlook for safety and code purposes: • Updated electrical systems • Updated plumbing and pipes • Modern (open) floor plan • Additional bathrooms • Finished basements • Recessed and LED lighting • Smart-Home tech like Bluetooth ceiling speakers • Outlets with USB ports • Granite or quartz countertops • Stainless steel appliances

Before Vaughan could install these gleaming appliances (above), the

modern island, and brushed nickel faucets and fixtures, he had to remove multiple dumpsters of trash and debris (right). You’d never know that this bright, modern kitchen was once a burned-out shell.
