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.

So, I'd been looking for transitions between flooring styles. I think they make sense to me only in the context of "passing through a frame" like here: material to sides and above is very similar to material blow.

Look: wine in the laundry room!

Ack. There's something similar about the space but what is going on with all that trim, colors, sconce, exposed joists? Too busy!

No heads.
Or tails.

So this is a very handsome door, but I'm ok with painted doors and framing trim if wood doors are super expensive.

Love the color under the eaves, matching the "get in here." Given that our house has 2 front but we use only 1, this might be handy reinforcement.

Another idea for "revealing" Chris Cobb's structure for the 2nd floor using trim.

I like the panel door, lever handle, flat wide trim, integrated stop. I wonder whether an upper panel could be frosted glass or whether this could be a sliding door.

I love this window framing too, but I think it makes for more finicky plasterwork and framing. I'd be interested to learn the difference in cost.

I really like clerestory windows and wonder whether they would work into the 2nd floor bath and laundry. These are fussy with the 3 panes.

I'm happy with the plainest trim, like here.

Still wondering about "revealing" the open structure that supports the 2nd floor.
Q

Worth talking about. No stone floors for me. The visible gang bolts are nice.

I have linoleum floor fantasies. Something jollier and less refined

I prefer 1/3 stagger for subway-style tile

Ok, Britt?

I perennially keep too much food in the house, so this kind of pantry may make sense.

Don't know whether a return makes sense, given width of the room.
