Heart of the Home
A mix of task and ambient lighting make cooking a breeze in this green farmhouse kitchen. The island is concrete, while the counter is made of beautiful honed black granite. The walnut stools were a souvenir the homeowner brought back from Italy. One of the best features in the kitchen is the stone hearth and pizza oven, the perfect component for a man who loves to entertain.

Pleasant Surprise
In this master bathroom, a stone wall was first perceived as a problem since it didn't go with the overall sleek feel the designer was going for. In the end, however, the wall became the perfect spot for the vanity, and a lit seamless mirror was used to make the wall a focal point in the space.

Sit Back and Relax
Charming lanterns from Holly Hunt line the entryway, and a bookshelf with padded seating placed on top was turned into a relaxing place to sit back, read a book and enjoy the warmth of the fire.

Comfy and Calm
Neutral but contrasting colors were used in the bedroom to maintain a simple, yet still interesting, vibe. Fuzzy pillows and plenty of blankets ensure this farmhouse bedroom is always nice and cozy.
