The courier was a cheerful & professional fellow, who obviously enjoys his work. Although I didn’t track the parcel (I think it actually arrived before the tracking was activated), this was a good feature. The delivery time to our sleepy little hamlet of Bloemfontein was also remarkably quick- two days if I remember. If I might add just one small observation, the Giancarlo lamp colour in the checkout was white in the picture but labelled as black. The checkout & payment section was also easy to follow and intuitive.

The website and catalogue is well laid out, logical & attractive, and I had no problems finding the lamps I wanted.

An oversized shower is tucked into the corner of the bath, next to an enclosed WC with frosted-glass door for additional privacy when the kids are around. The tub was ordered without the apron for a more contemporary look. Inside the bathroom, a Bain Ultra tub set under an eave and in front of a bank of windows serves as the focal point and affords lovely views (the house sits on a hill). That suite is accessed via a wallpapered hallway, for a bit of separation wide pocket doors between bed and bath can be closed for privacy or opened to let in light from the front to the back of the house. addition, a place that would be durable enough for little kids, but also give the couple a space of their own designed to feel like a hotel suite. The project called for building a new kitchen and master suite above it, a 1,200 sq. His clients, young first-time homeowners who were moving from the city with their two small children, wanted to update and add on to the farmhouse colonial before they moved in.

The fixture was selected before the plans were even drawn, and it influenced the color of the walls, the stone, and the whole palette of the master bath, he says.

“We always ask clients to send us images of things that appeal to them. With this master bath in a 1920s Chappaqua home, a lighting fixture - an Oly bubble chandelier - served as the inspiration and starting point. We’ve all seen the Kohler commercial in which a woman says to an architect, “Design a house around this,” as she plunks a sleek faucet onto a drawing table.
