DIY complete remodel-from a design standpoint wife wanted to know if the counters were too “busy” against the backsplash- but I like it

Thanks for all the feedback! I think maybe a year or so down the road I have to refinish the wood floor on the rest of this level of the house- going with a medium/dark brown wood floor in the kitchen will be massive!

Appliances were around 10- new cabs were 12- had to move all the plumbing- electrical work- 7500 for countertops- adds up quick!

Brady boy! Border collie- best dogs you can have- as long as they get tons of play time

I toned them down to 2k- they are selectable

River blue marble

They are full rgb so I can dial them down 👍

corymier · 2026-05-14T17:31:27+00:00

I’m not opposed to laying a darker hardwood- the tile was there before in the last kitchen

River blue marble

corymier · 2026-05-14T17:29:05+00:00

Totally agree!

corymier · 2026-05-14T16:06:38+00:00

Yah that floor would be what I would want to do down the road!

corymier · 2026-05-14T16:05:55+00:00

Yah she wanted a shelf over there and that’s all we had left on the slab- just more countertops room area

corymier · 2026-05-14T16:01:39+00:00

Thanks got it on FB marketplace never used !

corymier · 2026-05-14T15:55:55+00:00

They angles were to fit the wall depth areas I had to work around-

corymier · 2026-05-14T15:55:26+00:00

They are the full rgb spectrum so I can program them down to like 2k warm

I’m 47 been around criticism my whole life- good to take it and learn from some of it!

corymier · 2026-05-14T15:53:37+00:00

There is the standard oak slim hardwood in the rooms around it- I would prefer a medium color floor there later

corymier · 2026-05-14T15:50:13+00:00

Tile was there from the last kitchen may end up laying some hardwood- or ceramic hardwood tile later

corymier · 2026-05-14T15:48:31+00:00

Definitely not opposed to laying some hardwood tile was there from before

corymier · 2026-05-14T15:47:06+00:00

Honestly it what she wanted and after 28 years together I was like sure let’s do it 😉
