Stainless steel stove and granite countertop.
Inspiration for a contemporary kitchen remodel in Houston

Double stoves with a stainless steel backsplash, the exposed joist ceiling, and open pegboard for storing cookware and utensils gives the kitchen an honest, utilitarian feel inspired by industrial kitchens.
