" Let's just take a quick look at the backside of the house that we haven't really focused on it much. The design of the of the architect called for a nice comfortable back porch and this is really an asset for the house because there really relates to the back yard. And it gives everybody in house an opportunity to have a place a private place to hang out out outdoors. And look at how we trim things out with -- wonderful vinyl. Shutters that are actually operable you can close them. And the carefree windows which are high performance and of course the last touches these window boxes which were brought to the project as well. But let's go inside and take a look at our tears. Hey all good things start in the kitchen and we got a lovely kitchen and here to show you. One of the key things I think when you're designing kitchens and a tight space you don't have too many square feet keep it simple keep it quite and we've got here's. A nice white double bowl sink from Kohler white microwave a white. -- from boron and of course a lot of white kenmore appliances thrown in here in the white aristocrats cabinets. Everything within easy reach you can go from one to the other without much complication of course the refrigerator the main dealing here lots of color on top of that."
