The contractor of this post Oakland Hills fire home had an interesting concept: build glass-front cabinetry for decorative items in front of a glass block window. Sure it used natural daylight to illumine the objects, but in doing so it distracted the eye with the grid pattern and blocked the light from being used in the rest of the room. One of the goals for this home was to reduce clutter by having cabinetry that had an easy to reach place for everything and the homeowner, who was an amateur glassmaker, created colorful pieces to accent the range backsplash for a personal touch.
