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.

Too much oak and corian...now works with new paint & backsplash

    That's a nice improvement, the green complements the wood well. So much natural light.

    Budget permitting, I'd update the fans and add a large rug under the dining table.

      Yes, I think that's good advice.

      I like this very much! Really updated your cabinets. :-)

      Nice color. Maybe some pendants over the island?? Check Craigslist. Sometimes you can find really nice household items for killer prices. Lucky you with the tall ceilings!!
