My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Which is the right white?

12 years ago
I'm painting my family room and trying to decide on the best white. It is connected to the kitchen, which has black and white striped vertical wall paper, white cabinets and black granite. The room has oak floors, French doors and two windows, so plenty of light. Trying to decide between Benjamin Moore Dove White, Acadia White and Ivory White. Thoughts?
