Kitchen - small contemporary kitchen idea in San Francisco with an undermount sink, glass-front cabinets, white cabinets, white backsplash, stainless steel appliances and an island

The shadow patterns from the Swirls 4x4 Bollard are most dramatic on uniform surfaces such as pavers. But even on mixed surfaces such as grass and mulch, these effects can be enchanting! The bollard has a 5 watt LED MR16 lamp with a 120 degree beam spread. Most MR16s have too narrow of a beam angle to produce this nice of wide illumination. Also, color temps under 3000K look best in the landscape and with Attraction Lights fixtures! Photo by Lyle Braund, Attraction Lights

Built from the ground up on 80 acres outside Dallas, Oregon, this new modern ranch house is a balanced blend of natural and industrial elements. The custom home beautifully combines various materials, unique lines and angles, and attractive finishes throughout. The property owners wanted to create a living space with a strong indoor-outdoor connection. We integrated built-in sky lights, floor-to-ceiling windows and vaulted ceilings to attract ample, natural lighting. The master bathroom is spacious and features an open shower room with soaking tub and natural pebble tiling. There is custom-built cabinetry throughout the home, including extensive closet space, library shelving, and floating side tables in the master bedroom. The home flows easily from one room to the next and features a covered walkway between the garage and house. One of our favorite features in the home is the two-sided fireplace – one side facing the living room and the other facing the outdoor space. In addition to the fireplace, the homeowners can enjoy an outdoor living space including a seating area, in-ground fire pit and soaking tub.
