I mean, I love a good kitchen, and an entire house, and a bathroom, and a living room, and an outdoor space… but there’s something about...

And if you have a high school student in your life, you’ll probably be invited to quite a few parties. Since it was Emerson’s senior year, we knew we’d be involved in quite a few.
