July 8, 2025 - Email from Tara regarding set of drawers — Approves 2 sets of drawers instead of 3.

• I definitely think 2 sets of drawers looks better. I feel like with the space between the mirror and the ceiling it kind of just is what it is. I don't want the lights above it because i like the lights in between and I don't really think there's anything else you can do? It doesn't look that weird to me.

July 22, 2025 - Email from Tara regarding bedroom nook layout — Approves desk and couch with 2 ottomans.

• I think practically speaking we are going to have to go with option 1 which I love (desk and couch with 2 ottomans).
