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.

Our home remodel including a more user friendly kitchen

11 years ago
last modified: 11 years ago

We added 777 (on accident same numbers lol) sqf to our house and we closed off a door and window in the kitchen to make an L shaped kitchen. I figured I'll share. We used Mr. Cabinet Care in Orange County, CA for our cabinets and a sub to do our vent hood. We used Cambria Fairbourne Quartz for our counter.

I tried taking the same angle picture but I will also include a front shot of the kitchen. Thank you for looking!!!

      And I read it, and by the time I read the rest of the comments it was gone from my mind! Can't wait to see what your backsplash is going to be!

    • 11 years ago

      HAHA Laura I can related, no worries at all. Its for sure a beautiful piece and the backsplash will take a while since we don't want to make a mistake so we'll see. not too busy though that's one thing I know for sure!

      What a wonderful update! I am sure you are loving it!

      Thanks so much everyone! @lefty47 if you look to the right of the new kitchen (first picture) you can see part of the yellow ladder, we added 700 sqft so we added quite a bit and out so a big french door went on that side :)
