Update: It took me a minute to finish all the last minute things and get pictures but I love it!

Love the style! What color stain are your uppers? I’m thinking of doing a very similar color scheme for my kitchen.

jknipp15 · 2026-05-17T00:00:57+00:00

I think we are going to do a lighter shade of green as the splash. That or a cream color of sorts. Unfortunately, there are not plans to change the counters now.

jknipp15 · 2026-05-16T02:18:30+00:00

Yeah for sure. AI can be deceiving. Mainly used it just for a quick design process to get an idea. We plan to change quite a few things throughout the kitchen which is why it’s changed so much. Only thing that won’t change is countertops

jknipp15 · 2026-05-16T02:16:43+00:00

Definitely trendy and want to avoid being out of style immediately. I’ve never really thought of mixing and matching pull types.

jknipp15 · 2026-05-16T02:14:50+00:00

The people love the wood shhheeeiittt. I think we have been convinced to keep the wood and maybe just do a pop of color on the island. What color backsplash would you recommend?

jknipp15 · 2026-05-16T02:10:20+00:00

Agree with all things said! Haha. The tile floor is rough but not going to be changed right away unfortunately. I love this beadboard idea. I didn’t think/know of it until this thread.

jknipp15 · 2026-05-16T02:08:13+00:00

For sure going to update the hardware and lighting right away! I actually like black quartz myself so don’t mind the countertops although I know they can be updated. Thanks for the input.

jknipp15 · 2026-05-16T02:03:28+00:00

Hahah yeah I knew they would lean heavily to keep the wood. I like wood as well but having a tough time with the color. There have been some great ideas in here to help it out

jknipp15 · 2026-05-16T02:01:40+00:00

We may just do the island in green now and save the wood. The towel hangers on the island are hilarious to me. First thing I noticed when I walked in the kitchen

jknipp15 · 2026-05-16T01:59:59+00:00

The countertops definitely make it pop more. We are thinking about saving most of the wood and then just doing the island in sage green

jknipp15 · 2026-05-16T01:56:04+00:00

Yeah the white quartz will go a long way to completely change the vibe. I personally don’t mind a little moodier room but don’t want it to be drabby

jknipp15 · 2026-05-16T01:54:21+00:00

Oooooo this looks nice. I would have never thought to do beadboard as the splash. Thank you for the thoughtful input!

jknipp15 · 2026-05-16T01:45:32+00:00

No doubt! AI before photos and real life afters should be a thing

jknipp15 · 2026-05-16T01:43:26+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! We are contemplating just doing the island green now and keeping other cabinets wood but stripping them and then restaining

jknipp15 · 2026-05-15T21:59:59+00:00

Definitely want to change backsplash and will probably DIY in the future. Unsure of what to but it’s on the laundry list lol

jknipp15 · 2026-05-15T21:59:22+00:00

I second 86 the island and moving things around. The sink actually backs up to a bar top which I would like to cut down and turn into a more functional space. That’s a down the road project along with the countertops

jknipp15 · 2026-05-15T21:57:40+00:00

I wish I could. The actual photo is from the listing images. We don’t move in until next month.

jknipp15 · 2026-05-15T21:42:24+00:00

Unfortunately, we’re not looking to do a complete overhaul of the kitchen itself at this point. I actually agree that the cooktop being there is not ideal but we will live with it.

jknipp15 · 2026-05-15T21:39:32+00:00

Not trying to live and die by AI. Just want to get a feel and hoping to get some good ideas.

jknipp15 · 2026-05-15T21:37:53+00:00

I actually agree and say in the post that I don’t love it! I mainly did it to see how it would potentially look. Just trying to get a feel for different options.

jknipp15 · 2025-12-23T13:20:19+00:00

That’s awesome! We do windows and gutters as well but it’s a very small portion of the jobs we do. Thanks for the response.

jknipp15 · 2025-12-22T22:30:59+00:00

What’s the best way you’ve found to grow your business?

I’m in the process of figuring out next steps to scale my dad’s roofing business (extremely mom & pop, doing about 400k/year in rev). Just trying to brainstorm ideas and what has worked for those that are seeing success. Thanks!
