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.

Paint color: Bold or not to be bold?

13 years ago
Has anyone used Behr's Distant Thunder in a small room? It's for a alcove dining room (really 2 walls and is open off of living room) and it gets little natural light. Worried the room will look smaller and color is more dark purple than gray. Anyone have experience here with this color?
