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.

Black Bedroom

13 years ago
I want to paint my bedroom black. It's a small 10'10" x 12'7" space. Brand new apartment. Help! Which paint brand/color?

    Apartment? Do you own it? If you don't better make sure it's ok to paint. If you do, know that when the time comes to paint back over it that it will take several coats—not everyone is a fan of black. I had to cover over a dark red wall and it took a thick cover paint x 2 coats then my lighter color on top so it can get pricey!
