My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

From neutral to colorful

11 years ago

So, although I'm not completely done yet, and the bookshelves in the 'After' picture are not arranged properly, I couldn't wait to share what we've done to our kitchen. We just moved into this house two months ago, and everything was done on a very tight budget.

      So which are the before, and which are the after?

      Did the refrigerator move into the closet?

    • 11 years ago

      Yes, grapefruit1_ar, the closet was a pantry, from which I removed the shelves and added them to the center island. A professional gas range and hood are going to be installed in the spot where the refrigerator was supposed to go. Here is a picture of the shelves in the center island.

      hayleydaniels, the pictures that show furniture and the blue wall are the 'after' pictures.

      The blue is very attractive! It's nice to see colors besides beige and gray.

      Thank you!

      From bland to rich!
