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.

    TV needs to come off the mantle or all that work is for not.

      Nothing says 1980's like oak (or stained pine) trim. You update looks great!

      Yes, take the TV off the mantel. If you have to look UP to watch TV, it’s too high. I like the TV at eye level to a seated adult, maybe a bit higher. A nice sofa and two comfortable upholstered chairs are the minimum for seating furniture. An area rug will help absorb noise and will give you an opportunity to bring in some softness and color. Coffee table, some smaller side tables, floor lamps and table lamps, art, window treatments for privacy and light control. I would consider simple stationary panels for the upper windows and roll-up panels for the lower windows.

      Love the way you painted the trimwork. Great job.

      The room height is beautiful in the chosen colors and trim.
