I have a few. The guy we used here lives three hours north or Phoenix.

Karen – I think you could do a coffered ceiling really at any height. I think it would help even the lowest ceilings feel taller. Our problem was there were too many pipes and vents in the ceiling – it just wasn't going to work without spending a ton of money to move things around. Bummer.

Kate – I actually didn't want to install the floors last to avoid the quarter round situation, but our contractor (and my mom) really wanted to. It does make sense to protect the floors, but I was hoping most of the big work would have been done by the time we installed cabs. I think it can go either way.

My kitchen is so similar – color, shaker style, macaubus quartzite, & floors. We have 9 windows & 3 sets of French doors, but that leads to a large, covered patio, so the natural light is limited, as well. Just make sure there is plenty of lighting & you will be good.

We finally had our backsplash installed 2 weeks ago & it compliments the quartzite amazingly! It is Fireclay Tile Foggy Morning 2"x6" in a herringbone pattern. I'll send you a photo! https://www.fireclaytile.com/tile/colors/detail/foggy-morning

Can't wait to see the finished kitchen!

Kate F. – when we built our home, the floors were the last to go in. Everything in the kitchen sits on plywood of the same height. This did require quarter round (which I didn't want), but I also didn't want the workers ruining my floors, so it was an ok compromise.
