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.

Two tone countertop?

8 years ago
Trying to decide on countertops. I finally found a carrera-marble looking quartz that I love, but it’s very pricey. I’m debating using the quartz for the island, and a darker honed granite for the perimeter cabinets. The cabinets are all the same shade (Kraftmaid “moonshine”- very light gray) Will this look too chaotic / choppy? Photos below show kitchen layout, quartz option with cabinet color, perimeter counter color.
