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.

Painting a basement

10 years ago
What are some good color choices for painting our basement family room with only one window to cozy it up a bit. It has a feature wall of a gas fireplace flanked by white built-in cabinets/shelves. Flooring is wood grain gray tone ceramic tile! Thanks so much!
