Eliza hummed a jaunty tune as she unpacked boxes in her new kitchen. The space was bright and airy, perfect for her culinary adventures. This was it: her dream home.

She immediately began sketching. She took pictures of every corner of the house, and cataloged every single imperfection. This was far more interesting than she'd ever hoped for.
