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.

Small change, big difference in foyer!

10 years ago
Hated the oak banister, so I painted it black. I love it! I also was not happy with the mustard yellow wainscoting. I prefer crisp-white wainscoting, but there's something off here...is it the pale yellow on top (that I want to paint)? lol..it never ends! Next project in the foyer will be the interior doors to match the banister.

    Looks better.

    The addition of the wall art is a nice touch.
