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 see lots of pictures with the walls back-lit like this one but can’t seem to find anything on how they did it

    The mantel wall is built a few inches away from the back wall, likely with a small lip that hides the LED strip light.
