I think I remember originally seeing this subject in Domino (so sad to see it fold), and just recently remembered the idea when staring up at my oh-so-not-spectacular living room ceiling.

The drain, which is hidden by a resin panel, is accessible by lifting the...Read more

Low flung walnut media console with rough hewn doors that add a contrasting texture to the satin finished frame. Sitting...Read more
