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 LOVE THAT FLOOR!

    Dress up that foyer by painting the walls a medium gray - BM iron gate
    1545

    Hang some pictures on the walls with black frames.

    Put a small black Parsons console on the left wall between the 2 doors [$45 at Target]

    Put a few large pillar candles in cream and black and hang a mirror above it.
