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.

    Hi Brianna, one of my favorite things to do is to hide the microwave! If you check out most of my photos, they are non existent, if it isn't an integral part of the client's life. First you need a spacesaver microwave--24" W x 11 3/4" H x 12" D. Then I make the cabinet a minimum 27" wide by 15" high--it could also be wider and higher. Just remember the depth is crucial. All other wall cabinets are standard depth.

    Check out the photo below. The microwave is in the cabinet above the warming oven.

      HI Barbra, Is this tile by Island stone like the smoke color used in another of your designs?

      Hi Owen, the tile is by Island Stone and the series is called Boulevard. I like it because the glass is both honed and polished. The color of the tile in this photo is smoke, but I've also used cement.

      Love that hide away for microwave. My husband wants to hide our toaster oven and keurig coffee maker but still be able to use in cabinet. Brilliant!

      How much space is behind the microwave to allow it to vent? Is the cabinet deeper than 12”
