booked months in advance and need to have everything set

homeowners, and they have the opportunity to show off
their property and design choices to their friends, fam-

equipped industrial kitchen, living quarters to offer space
for a 72-inch, 3D, curved UHD television set, and a large
yard with a mini garden. So on it goes to the next one …
