Stainless steel appliances, natural light, white quartz countertops and cabinets make this kitchen gleam!

This huge 12 x 16 secondary bedroom is light and bright!
To the right of the landing is this enormous 13 x 24 secondary bedroom that is being used as a studio and study, but the sky is the limit as far as its uses. The rich tones of the hardwood floors and grey walls give this room a chic, warm elegance.
