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.

    Abby, to answer your question about the floor paint in the photo of the upstairs hallway in our Putney VT 1838 Greek Revival renovation: California water based floor paint, color "Turbulent Sea DE5803". Bedrooms are white, which I don't recommend for a busy family but looks great! Water-based floor paints have improved a lot in both appearance and durability in recent years, but if you want a traditional glossy and super-tough floor paint for high traffic areas ask your supplier about industrial oil-based coatings.

    Thank you for your detailed answer. Though I live in a 1965 California, "C" shaped ranch, my yankee heart longs for old farmhouses from New England and I get my weekly fix from Old Houses.com.

    thanks again

    Abby
