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 kitchen -what to do?

11 years ago
Oak cabinets are in excellent condition. They are light oak colored. Countertops are cream colored Corion also in good condition. Flooring is brand new very light gray laminate. Ugh! How do I make it look not so bland?? Thinking of staining the cabinets darker or painting them gray except my husband hates painted cabinets. Help!
