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 were you thinking?

13 years ago
I don't need a response. I have been through hundreds of photos of living rooms and this is the only one that has caused me to stop and go "What were you thinking?" It is terrible.

    This may not suit your style but it is exactly what our client asked for. It was a complete transformation from a typical 1980's black and floral chintz scheme to a lighter and more soothing for a couple of empty nesters. Others have found this look attractive and added it to their ideabooks here on Houzz. What is great about designing your own home you can make it how you want.
    Hope you are having a better day today. Thanks.
