Even though this kitchen is tiny, it includes an under-the-counter 24″ refrigerator, a small sink, dishwasher, a two burner cooktop, a 30″ microwave/convection oven, and storage for all the essentials of a kitchen.

The bathroom was completely re-designed and re-configured. The designer replaced the floors, installed a full height shower instead of keeping the tub, and moved the vanity and toilet.

By making the walls and floor white, the shower screen clear, and adding a mirror, they were able to make sure the light from the window brightened the entire bathroom.
