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.

I really did just stop there to drop off things..thrift store

18 years ago

Look what I found for $6!! When I took the latest things from my basement clean-up to donate, I just had to stop in and look. They were having a $3 bag sale! I had passed some of the china up before because it was heavy and I knew it would be hard to break. Went back to my beginnings and used the old hammer. I also tried to save more edges, 1/2 cups and some plain white when it was textured or rippled. I was trying to find brighter colors, but still the things that are there are mostly SC. There are three containers of the brighter ones on the bottom left - I think I see a kitchen backsplash in the future.....
