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.

    This is a photo that was actually part of a featured ideabook on Houzz which centered on the "Upward Bound House." This is a motel that was transformed by designers in LA to serve as an emergency shelter for children and families.

    Check out this ideabook, which also includes many other photos of this small yet well designed and appropriated space.
