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.

Recommendations on other paint colors

9 years ago
I've decided to use Elmira as the main paint color in our Spanish Revival home. What other colors do you recommend for family room, bedrooms, bath, etc. if I'd also like to include a little color? I still want everything to flow nicely. Much appreciated.

    Hi Stacy. As you may have read I like neutral walls in a Spanish home. I suggest you select a house palette. Figure out which colors you would like to live with including your fabrics, rugs, art selections. Everything should be cohesive from room to room. If you like warmer colors with Elmira, then select a warmer palette throughout. For a warmer palette consider Gentle Cream or Audobon Russet by Benjamin Moore. If you like cooler colors, consider Horizon Gray or Sea Pine by Benjamin Moore with Elmira White. Hope that helps. Happy Thanksgiving. Charmean

    This is gorgeous! Love the floor with the cabinet color and back splash. The different styles work beautifully.
