It's not as easy when there's no color to pick from. [It's a good thing shoes and some of the clothes are popping back into color out of no where.] At least black and white always go together!

[Emma leads the way (it's literally the first room) to the open living room which shares space with a wood fire stove and cooking area. Homey cottages don't have a lot of choice. She gestures to some, beat up, but serviceable chairs and table. There's a little pile of her own projects tucked away in the corner.]

This is the biggest space in the house so we can spread out and work in here. Is there anything you want me to move around?
