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.

stair runner - beautiful home

13 years ago
Can you share with me the type of stair runners you typically use? Which do you like that are beautiful but stand the test of time with wear and tear?

    Yes. Slightly more easy to clean than an "eggshell' finish.

      Can you tell me what color you used on the walls? It looks great!

      May I ask what the pearl finish does to the paint?

      "Pearl" is a type of finish (or paint sheen) that Benjamin Moore offers. It has a slightly more of "gloss" look to it compared with eggshell.

      Wonderful! Thank you for answsering the question. I was planning to use eggshell in my house. I have a small child. Would the pearl finish be easier to clean (when he touches the wall with his dirty fingers)?
