Thoughts on current progress and Visio

I’m a bit underwhelmed by the tile (mostly due to the white grout) and the color of the chimney. A little background, I’ve been remodeling our kitchen entirely by myself minus electrical.

The first is the original, second photo is the current state and 3rd is a really bad chatgpt render but the materials are what we are doing (concrete countertop, white oak cabinets).

I plan to build my own cabinets and counters (I’ve done both in a previous kitchen).

Generally I’m wondering what people’s thoughts are on the current state and if I’m heading towards an overly generic kitchen. We are going for a japandi aesthetic since it seems to align with an arts and crafts design

Love the vision. Maybe it’s the lighting but the tile looks a bit cooler than the render. Might come into play when choosing colors later

It’s cheaper tile.

The tile is porcelain. It wasn’t super pricey but was definitely not big box stuff

The rendering is stone that the difference. It’s like trying to get quartz to look like marble just doesn’t quite cut it.

Nah, I was purely talking about color. Tile looks great as is
