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.

Creating a focal point

11 years ago
Every room needs a focal point and an asymetrical wall
can be resolved by creating one. In the before photo below it was a challenge to create a mantel and storage on an asymetrical wall. The resolution was to create a tile wall
to focus the eye.

    wow! This is completely different! How wonderful, especially since it could be possible to do this sort of thing for very little money. Even painted and varnished plywood with a painted and varnished mantel shelf and side low bookshelves would give a similar feel for very little money!

    Great job. Although I am not a fan of TV's so high sometimes that is the only solution. This looks great

    Modern and clean. I'd add a couple of live plants. Nice idea and job.

    Love the clean look of the cabinetry that rids of all the messiness in the room
