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.

countertops

This is such a beautiful little kitchen but design was done so well it feels open and bright.

Can you please share the countertop materials used on the back counters and the island? Also what colour paint was used? Thanks so much!

    Hello Rhoda!

    Thank you for your kind words. This kitchen was considerably darker before we added the windows flanking the range and its new layout is much more social than before. Soapstone tops the rear counters, and the wall color is Benjamin Moore's French Macaroon/CSP-335. If you're not familiar with soapstone, I suggest you research it before selecting it for your kitchen as it has unique wear and maintenance properties. Best wishes!
