This is my parent's condo. Although the photos do look stark and cold, the kitchen and living room was complimented with clean bursts of modern color. The kitchen table and chairs were merely temporary, for the photo. The "ad" was concentrating on the sleek kitchen design, but it was easy to "warm-up" a bit with "lived-in" accessories and color. The counters and cabinets are truly fantastic in-person! Also, notice the unique square-shaped lights in the ceiling.
