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.

    did you pull up the countertop granite in a 4"backsplash? and may I ask why? I can't decide if I should do the 4" or 3" or not. I will have white shaker cabs and AB honed countertops. Am considering leaving painted back walls, to keep it simple in a small kitchen.

      It's a bit far away so hard to tell, but it looks like a white 3x6 subway tile and a minibrick mosaic behind the range with a border around that.

      We did use a 3x6 subway brick tile and then used a mini-brick calcutta marble tile behind the range.

      What did you use for a border between the mini-brick and the subway tile? Is it a pencil tile?

      Yes, we used the calcutta pencil liner.

      Really beautiful choices. I love how the window coverings bring in color, would you know the make/style? Also, Can you tell me the color/maker of the 3x6 subway tile? thanks so much!
