A Minimalist, Modern Bathroom
From the March/April 2017 issue of YAM
Lighting plays a key role throughout this home, with two special features occurring in the main-floor bathroom. A slide-away mirror wall opens up to a windowed view over the sink, while a framed lighting inset creates illumination over the bath. PHOTO: JOSHUA LAWRENCE.
The Kitchen In This Fully Restored Heritage Home

While the dimensions of the kitchen and main floor have been reconfigured, many heritage elements, such as the original fir banister toppers, accessorize this space with history. PHOTO: JOSHUA LAWRENCE.
