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 pulled a "While you were out" on my uncle!

11 years ago
While visiting my uncle in NY I felt the need to take control of his lacking decor and design. He was surprised when he returned home from work...

    Wow. It added a lot. I like your use of colors. Gave it a real 'homey' feel. I do hope he was 'pleasantly' surprised...

    I am not bold enough to use too many dark colors you made it work!!

      Wow, I hope he likes red? I wouldn't recommend this for EVERYBODY- some people dont like their living area redesigned! But it was a sweet thought, and it looks good. :)
