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.

nice clean overall look

Black counters but with a nice backsplash

an alternative to the dark soapstone--helps lighten the room
Q

another example of the dark soapstone (patterned) with the stained wood. lighting very important here as well.
Q

if we go with dark counters like these, it's more important to have lighter accents and backsplash like here

This is apparently soapstone--pretty cool--looks good with the cabinet color too.
Q

first example of the dark cabinets and dark counters. not sure I like it now as well
Q

instead of a colorful base island--could to a colorful counter top!
Q

can't entirely see the counter colors here, but clearly they tie into the floor
Q

relatively compact kitchen with simple layout. interesting backsplash. Picture the island without the wings and it's similar sized to ours, if different shape
Q

I don't think these work quite as well
Q

another example of the dark cabinets with the lighter counters. Backsplash is hideous
