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 House Construction

11 years ago
Any suggestions for a granite color for a kitchen with white cabinets (BM Swiss Coffee) and a dark stained island? Walls will be BM Grant's Beige.

    Yes, the island is painted grey...I could have gone darker but I'm happy with it. I have more photos of the new build in my idea books, but here are some more kitchen shots. Love the big drawers for pots and pans, etc...so much easier than digging through a traditional cabinet.
