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.

    The countertops are Spanish Gold marble with an antiqued finish. You, your architect, or your contractor should consult a local stoneyard regarding availability and price.

    Stone slabs are not standardized products with uniform color, veining, etc. Always inspect them in person before purchase, keeping in mind how the slab will be cut before final installation. Many otherwise beautiful slabs may not be suitable for your application.

    What is an antiqued finish? Is it similar to honed?

    Marble with an antiqued finish has a gently irregular surface texture. A honed finish is smoother and more uniform. Both are much less reflective than a polished finish.
