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.

What is the paint color on the walls? That muted "dusty" pale aqua is hard to find.

    I'm not sure how absolutely accurate the colors in this photo are. The actual wall color is Benjamin Moore's Vale Mist (1494) but also try Thornton Sage (464.) Hope this helps.

      This trick can also be helpful: if you like the color you are trying but it seems too dark, ask the paint store to mix a "half" or "50%" formula of the color. This is one of the glories of mixing paint by computer -- they just cut the pigment in half.

      I had no idea that would result in something I like. Thanks!

      It's a great trick...I've done it lots of times. Trial and error!

      I think a sample first -- I usually do that before I decide on any color. It hsouldn't matter about the size.

      Wow! You have made my day. I was really pleased with the way it turned out, but a successful job all hinges on good resources, good fabricators and most of all, a great client!

      Thank you for your wonderful comment.
