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.

    Redv, The walls and the bookcases are done in an authentic lacquer finish. I believe it took nine coats with sanding and polishing in between each coat. The artist is local to NYC: Augustin Hurtado, he is very rare and absolutly exceptional. ---Tom
