Elizabeth Mercer Aurandt of Mercer Interior no less, was asked to make full use of her talents on the kitchen you see before you. The client wanted all of those things we all want in our kitchens, better appliances, better organisations, an incredibly attractive cook …
Your eyes do not deceive you. The building on the left, situated in Eleuthera, Bahamas, is, indeed, leaning to the left. What’s more, when the wind blows hard in the other direction the building would lean to the right. But …
