I admire the contemporary aesthetic and cozy sensation of the Costura Sofa Collection, a new line of upholstered sectionals and chairs by the talented designer Jon Gasca, exclusively available at DWR.  

Door and cabinet hardware are the jewelry of a room.   They matter and often not given enough attention when building and remodeling. Shown is door knob no 1590 from Nanz.  So elegant and timeless. .
