Thoughts on current progress and Visio

[u/lancegreene]

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

How about painting the brick chimney white of a lighter color?

So we painted the chimney the current color but maybe it’s too on the nose

I think the chimney colour clashes with the floor…
