Staging

Our architect and contractor (well, his wife) both requested some photography at our new house, and what better time to do it than right after cleaning and before we move in?

So, the day before the housewarming open-house party, they both came and staged the house for photos. This included all sorts of funny accoutrements I'd normally never use for decoration -- like roosters or pigs holding chalkboards -- but everything looked great.

Besides, it's time I post a photo of the finished kitchen.
