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.

    Thanks for asking about this stone. It's a favorite here in the PNW and appears in another kitchen on my website. (That kitchen also has a trough sink...in the island.) Here we call this stone Pietra del Cardoza and, as you may know, different stone suppliers may use different names. So ask to see their "schist stones." Schist is a particular type of rock.....similarly hard as granite but with a look more like - in this case - a limestone. I'm glad you like it.

    Thank you, I will definitely ask. It is gorgeous!
