Reik added greenery to the space by suspending a tree branch to the wall. Miniature cacti in planters hang from the branch with fishing line. The hallway leading to the bedroom is adorned with antique mirrors, postcards, and personal photos.

A blue Smeg refrigerator is the focal point of the kitchen. A custom dining table, made of an antique mirror with a circular metal leg, juts off the Israeli white marble countertop.
