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.

90's kitchen

10 years ago
White tile floor, white Formica countertops, pickled oak cabinets. I'm okay with the cabinets, but the countertop has to go. I really don't want to get rid of the floor due to the expense. I would like granite or quartz countertops, but I am concerned about the white floor standing out like a sore thumb! How dark, or light, should I go with the countertop?

    I don't think it is worth the $$$ to replace those counters. They look fine. Take the paper and magnets off the fridge, d/w, and cabinets and replace the rug in front of the sink with a striped mat from Dash and Albert in lighter colors. Buy coordinating dish towels. Replace the blinds over the sink. Don't spend thousands on new counters to go on top of partial overlay pickled oak cabinets and a white floor.
