Owning one’s home is an old dream, as old as the universe. Home is the place where your heart resides; it’s the womb that holds your soul, a place where you feel complete. It’s the place where you feel safe, where your strivings come to an end and it’s the glow you hold in the eye. Home is full of life, be it a cottage, a caravan, a palace, or a bungalow.

Use wall hung fixtures or trip pedestal lavatory. Install heavy lighting and reflective surfaces, which are shiny.
