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.

Main Entrance into house via kitchen

10 years ago

I have a raised ranch house and there is no real "Main Entrance" into the house which drives me crazy. We are planning a kitchen remodel and want to define that as the Main Entrance on the side of the house with a small mudroom that goes into the kitchen. How can I achieve this so it doesn't feel like you are coming in a back door?

Thanks for any suggestions.
