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.

Absolutely beautiful kitchen! Could you please tell me the material of the island counter top? Is it honed black marble or soapstone? Also, if these cabinets are custom, what color white are they? I'm renovating my home and this is just the kitchen look I want. Thanks for sharing.

    We used Nero Marquina marble and had it chemically honed to give it a butter finish.

      The cabinetry is Seed Pearl by Pratt and Lambert and the Island is a C2 colour - it's a pale blue gray

      Thank you for your reply. Love this kitchen!

      By having the marble chemically honed, does that make it more durable or is it just for looks?

      Do you have any other pictures of this kitchen? I'd love to see another shot of the pale blue gray island.

      Chemically honed is just for looks. Very high maintenance.

      What is very high maintenance about chemically honed Nero Marquina? I am thinking of getting this for the island in my kitchen.
