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.

Design Dilemma

Need help with living room/ kitchen

9 years ago

I have just bought a small summer place. The interior walls and ceiling are all pine. I can't decide if I should paint over some or all of the pine. It feels a bit dark. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
