looks good, i like everything on it’s own, but not sure that color countertop really goes with the backsplash and cabinets, but it’s awesome on it’s own and with the ss appliances. ---

i like the choice of countertop and appliances. looks like it turned out nice but i hate when kitchens have that empty space above the cabinets. ---

looks great again, made a world of a difference you should do crown around the cabinets if you get a chance i was wondering if u were doing tile backsplash lol… u originally stopped with the drywall showing and i was hoping that wasnt it :tup: ---

I think we have the same countertop, does it have copper in it? I think we also have the same faucet and undermount sink. Looks good. ---

don’t like the blacksplash, looks old and the color doesn’t go with the counter tops, but apart from that it looks good. ---
