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.

Small grey kitchen , need to brighten up !?!?

12 years ago
I'm updating my small kitchen. I decided to go with my fav look , clean medium grey cabinets ( elephant skin by Behr) and white Brazilian granite and grey tones mosaic. So far I love it. Under construction but i do want to brighten it up a bit ... Ideas? Thanks !

    Just a little bit of color can go a long way! Do you have a kitchen door you could paint? Maybe a pantry?

    Or if any of those cabinets will have a glass facing, you may bring in some color at the back of the cabinets!
