Warning: the photos in this blog may cause you to feel a sense of hunger, thirst or the desire to stage your kitchen! We've all heard it said that "the kitchen is the heart of the home". If you've ever had guests over for dinner or thrown a cocktail party, you know that people tend to congregate in the kitchen.

During our initial consultation, a recent Reveal Estate client realized she needed our help to prepare her home for sale. Budget was a concern and the property was being listed as a one bedroom and den within a week.
