and I were inspired

Since then, we keep

inspired by other creatives.”
—Elizabeth Olsen

downsize in certain ways. To make the most of their kitchen space, however, they painted the

maximizes the natural light provided by the wall of windows. Above her kitchen island and
dining table, she likes that her hanging chandelier lights “add a touch of industrial style.”
