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.

Kitchen Back splash... part tile/ part distressed metal or copper???

13 years ago
Trying to decide what to use on back splash. Tired of the same ole tile... want some distressed metal/copper over sink/under wine rack...??? Have knotty alder (stained) and sage rub-down on accent cabinets and pantry/safe room... Rustic contemporary design- large space.

    Maybe a solid piece of copper for the more contemporary look?
