Design details

• Texas hill-country kitchen — roughly 220 sf
• A Texas hill-country kitchen anchored by a cream limestone accent wall laid dry-stack behind the range, under a warm hand-troweled plaster hood and exposed cedar ceiling beams. Knotty alder cabinets with a hand-rubbed finish and simple recessed panels carry honed cream quartzite counters, wrought iron shows up in the hardware, strap-hinged pantry door, lantern pendants, and pot rail, and a deep farmhouse sink sits below a wood-framed window looking to live oaks. Hand-scraped hickory planks ground the room in warm morning light. The intent is heritage Texas craft executed with modern precision.

Illustrative allocation of the overall planning allowance across trades; these are not independently verified trade quotes. Site-specific costs may exceed these allowances.

Project assumptions

• Existing footprint and window kept
• Quartzite is natural stone — slab selection drives cost
• Beams decorative wrap unless structure requires more
• Appliances owner-supplied; hookups included

Options

• Keep sound existing components where compatible.
• Compare stock, semi-custom and custom selections before ordering.
• Confirm samples in the room’s natural light.

Trades & site requirements

• Qualified plumbing and electrical trades as required; confirm existing shutoffs, ventilation and service capacity.
• Check access, working clearances, occupied-home protection, waste removal and delivery space.
• Check substrate condition, moisture and concealed services before installation.

Permits & engineering

• Verify local permit requirements and HOA restrictions before work; this concept does not establish an exemption.
• Confirm wet-area waterproofing, ventilation and electrical requirements with qualified trades.

Sequence & duration

• Measure and inspect → confirm scope and selections → check approvals → order materials → protect the site → install → inspect and finish.
• 6–10 weeks
• Installation window excludes design, approvals, fabrication lead times and unforeseen repairs.

Estimate basis & inclusions

• $41,625–$70,125
• Adjusted sample planning allowance. Feasibility at this budget has not been verified against current supplier and trade quotes.
• Covers only the stated quantities and installation scope; decorative objects and adjacent rooms are not included.
• Site condition, access, material choice, waste, permit requirements and concealed damage can change the written quote.

Exclusions & unknowns

• Exact product selection and current availability are unknown.
• Concealed damage, structural repair and utility relocation are excluded unless explicitly scoped.
• Permit and engineering fees, taxes and contingency require confirmation; they are not guaranteed included.
• Furniture, styling and loose appliances are excluded unless explicitly listed.

Care & maintenance

• Use manufacturer-approved cleaners; inspect grout, seals and exposed water connections regularly.
• Final maintenance instructions depend on the products selected.

Next steps

• Save the concept and note what you want to keep or change.
• Bring room dimensions and existing-condition photos to a walkthrough.
• Confirm a written scope, selections, permit needs and site-specific quote before work.
