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.

Suggest countertop material and color scheme

12 years ago
My wonderful husband converted a room to build me a walk in closet with cherry cabinetry. There will be a island also made of cherry, with additional drawers. Our walls are a sage green. What material and color should we use for the island countertop?

    Will it be a vanity? If yes, do you use hairspray? If no, cherry.
