[@chelseaclarkeco]

Absolutely! All the details on the faucet, pot filler and other bits is listed here: chelseaclarke.co/before-doing-a-kitchen-remodel/#key-design-elements-in-my-kitchen-remodel and the grout color we used in the end is “bone” by Mapei.

Nice for a fireplace but not practical for a kitchen. If I can’t wipe and clean it down I don’t want it.

[@paulb7837]

also the countertops - quartz?

[@chelseaclarkeco]

Quartz yes!
