@RedPat Yes. It’s very instructive that there’s often an inverse relation between the budget and the quality of the aesthetics – often the more money that’s applied, the worse the result. Smaller budgets dictate simplicity, ingenuity, and local materials that make sense and fit with the vernacular architecture. Granite countertops in non-granite regions always kind of depress me.

@Erica I think she’s one of the architects!
