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.

Modernize Country Style Kitchen

11 years ago
We just bought this house and want to modernize the kitchen. We need a new kitchen table and need advice on a new paint color. The stenciling, while beautiful, just isn't our style. I'm thinking a greige but don't know if it will work with the cabinet color.

    Benjamin Moore Bed of Ferns or Dry Basil would be nice. To modernize the look of the dining room I would focus on the style of the chairs more than the

    table. Look for something in the Transitional style rather than traditional and you will find something that spans the traditional look of your space but will update the look.
