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.

Living Room Redesign

13 years ago
After a year of moving in, I finally made some changes to our living room. Got a new rug, new lamp, black and white photos above the couch and a new mirror above the fireplace. Overall, I like how it turned out, but would love to know what others think. Do the black and white photos go with the rest of the décor? Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

    Looks great…nice job.

    Were it my house, I would paint the mantel a high gloss white (your trim white). Then I would lean, not hang, the four black and whites across the mantel…nothing else there and I would hang the mirror over the sofa…not too high. Take the red pottery and put those on the coffee table with a rectangular tray.
