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.

    Sistahsusan, this is a new cabinet that I designed and built for this kitchen.
    drsusan, I use a variety of tools and techniques to create the worn patina of an old cabinet. I also use antique lumber on occasion which already has much of the character that I try to acheive.
