“We transformed a yard with a chain-link fence and no privacy into an oasis,” says Rebecca Taylor, a food stylist, photographer, and content creator living in Ojai, California, with her partner, Max.

The new vanity is a game-changer.

“With dark walls and so much clutter, it was hard to enjoy the real hero: the view,” this homeowner says of the space before.
