House #42. Ya know me, loving the black + white!
House #42. This master bedroom + bathroom was stunning. A must see!
One of my favorite features in #42 is this staircase. Exposed beams + open white oak stairs…beautiful!
The natural light and black trim windows in this house are spot on.
Look at those custom white oak cabinets!
The master bathroom in house #42 has a full quartz walk-in shower + this unique layout. Again…that natural light makes all the difference!
The flow + open floor plan of this modern farmhouse is great.
