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.

    Thanks! I have a vintage bathroom with a cast iron tub with a painted underside - but the paint color is awful. I love the lime green. So much fun! Thx!

    If I were to use this as inspiration, but want a vanity cabinet and top, what do you suggest? Paint the cabinet lime green??? White top?

    For painting tub exteriors, you can use any latex based interior house paint. Just don't try to paint the interior of the tub.
