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.

empty area on wall

2 years ago

Nearing the end of our DIY kitchen and I am not sure what to do around the sink/mirror window. I was going to remove the mirror window, but as of right now it stays. Wondering if I should leave the space empty? Put floating shelves or add more cabinets. Will be adding a pendant light over the sink. And will be adding tile backsplash.

    We might suggest removing the mirror window, as it does nothing to add to the space. Then look at doing tiling and adding some open shelves there. Here are some recent kitchen designs that include floating shelves, sconces, and tiled walls.
