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.

Looking for paint color ideas!

Looking for paint color ideas!

My house currently has beige ceramic tile floors and gray walls. We recently closed up the old TV cubby (it used to hold a smaller TV) and mounted a larger TV. We’re also planning to add a bigger fireplace with a mantel.

The current paint color on the wall with the TV is Sherwin-Williams Alabaster, but it feels a little too white to me. Our living room gets a lot of natural sunlight, and I’m hoping to repaint all the walls throughout the house, so I’d love suggestions for a color that would work well everywhere and still complement the beige tile and new setup.
