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.

How to incorporate a light switch in a custom corner bookshelf

13 years ago
I have a small corner in my bedroom that I would like to have a tall corner bookshelf made. I would like the light-switch to remain, but not look out of place. I would like it to be traditional in style.

    You can put it inside one of the shelves or if it is an open book shelf like above, place the switch on the under side of the upper cabinets.
