We were impressed by Berlin-based architectural visualization firm, Wojciech Piwowarczyk’s modern renderings of living rooms, kitchens, and even office spaces.

Outdoor Garden Furniture by Pottery Barn

They started out as a single store in 1949 in Lower Manhattan, but Pottery Barn has always retained its comfy, rustic-yet-refined style, even after it has branched out with more locations.
