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.

    I love the suggestions of statement sized horizontal art. You don't need to fill the wall, just make it interesting. A suggestion for your fabulous new built-ins: if you can move those shelves around so they're at different heights. Not every shelf needs to be used. That way you can put something really tall in one of them.
