At the end of the wall of cabinets on the right side is a red SMEG fridge which has a classic retro appeal. What is hidden within the surrounding wooden boxes of the cabinets are bright pops of color that match the fridge. Who would expect to see a lot of storage like this?
Seen here is the sleeping area which is located in the same space with the living area and the kitchen. It also has the white walls as well and a comfy bed.
