Dining Room Showcases Saucer-Style Light

Positioned carefully above the glass table, a saucer-style pendant lamp brightens the dining area. Against the side wall, a narrow console table provides an extra surface for presenting side dishes and liquor at dinner.

Modern Master Bathroom

Once a narrow bathroom with dull cream-colored tile, this master bathroom now boasts a clean and calming modern aesthetic. A large double vanity offers his and her sinks with storage underneath, while striped tile draws the eye upward.
