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.

New Cabinet stripped and painted

11 years ago
This is a rental property in Philly. I wanted to tear this old thing out and Sheetrock it, but my husband wanted to strip it and paint it. I'm glad we went with his idea.

      Meisha: looks wonderful in white; nice job! Totally useful for display and storage and who doesn't need that? :) I might suggest painting the white vent to match the wall if you have any of the wall paint left over. I like to paint too, but mostly furniture, although I've done a lot of work on our house/walls. Very worthwhile in the end, though. Best wishes!

      bsjasmel, my friends have said the same thing. Yes, you see exactly the colors in my
      brick. Forgot to tell you that these bricks are Franklin Old Reds.
      Thank you.
