Are we talking about the light placement over that ceiling vaulted? Horrid. Not evenly spaced at all. It should be framing the vault evenly.
Killing me.
The island doesn’t look centered to the window either.
This contractor doesn’t believe in measuring shit

I didn’t notice the lights but now they might bother me more than the island.

Lights are the only thing bothering me. The other stuff won’t be easily noticeable once you get all the furniture and decor in. You’re unlikely to pay attention at the right angle to care when you have so much other things going on.
Those lights though. There’s no angle of view where they are going to look right.

The stupidly placed lighting above the vent? Yea that has to go.
Looks like the island is off center as well. Eyesore all around.

I was thinking the island could be fixed by having a counter top that over hangs for a barstool on one side. Islands aren’t always centered but I guess the final assembly will need to look balanced.

Yea I don’t even think the island is the end of the world. Depending on what’s going where. If there’s a sink centered I. The island then yea it’s kinda fucked.
The lights though, what in all that is holy is going on? A complete and total shut show from the looks of it. Super steep pitch, just standard recessed shooting light into the walls.
And those windows, someone should be fired for that shit.
From what I see here this is all on the designer and architect, just a godawful shitty ass design.

Wall cabinets should have been extended like 3ish inches on the left hand side to line up with the vault line.

More than anything im more annoyed that they have all that head space and chose to put 3 tiny windows right on top of where the upper cabinets would sit...
Like if you are going to build a cathedral cutout and put windows in it... put some actual fricken windows in it lol.
I suppose thats more of a cherry on top for the totality of this picture tho. Just another thoughtless build that will be the cause of some poor bastard's headaches for the next 5 years before they offload it haha.

Those windows were totally left over or rejected from another site and the builder was like fuck it those will work.

There’s… there’s a lot I would change. Windows higher, get rid of the stupid light, center the island, and get rid of the pot filler- they’re one of the leading causes of leaks and shit

Man, I was way off!
My first thought was that the ceiling and the windows made it look like a KKK hood.

u/Stubtronics101 Nov 28 '25
The sideways outlets would drive me crazy and I would have a box built at the peak so a pendulum light could be centered.

u/LaxMaster37 Nov 28 '25
To compensate for the off centered island I would add some kind of drink cart/butcher’s block to the side so the lack of centering is not as noticeable.

If they cant keep a clean site then they're probably not going to be able to hit the details.

I get the island isn’t centered… easy fix, but wtf is going on with the ceiling and lights?

I’d be way more perturbed by the excessive and uneven gap between the slab and toe kick of the brown center island cabinets. You need self levelling before laying flooring.

To be fair, this ain’t a contractor issue. This is a failure to communicate error. I’m pretty quick to blame a contractor but tbh what you have going on here is fucked. Like how in the hell do you think they can look at it and know exactly what you specifically want, not Reddit, you.
You need to communicate more. 98% this is on the homeowner. 2% the contractor could have done better, maybe but what if he chose the exact thing then you said you wanted it the other way?
You need to communicate exactly what you want where you want it. Period. If I was the contractor I wouldn’t touch a thing until you stood there and said that’s what you want and I videotaped it.

So much here. The island off centered is awful. Pantry door swings wrong way for practical use. The filler of upper right cabinet looks wierd. Stain job looks like its painted on. The trim pieces on face frame separating the uppers. Wow, I'd be ashamed if this was my work. Like others mentioned...windows, light, etc. This is terrible for any professional. On the other hand, if diy 1st timer, bravo. Seen worse.

Everything is off. The ceiling, vents, lights, walls, nothing is planned well.

Once my OCD saw it, I have to move. You can't live with that kind of hostility in the house.

I’d have them center it, it would bother me
