CREATING A DREAM – This is a beautiful custom kitchen located in a kitchen and bath showroom in the Merchandise Mart, downtown Chicago. The project was to stage the set for professional photography to be used in brochures, websites and other marketing material. The way I begin any staging project is to start with a "story". In this case our story setting was afternoon Sunday brunch.  By staging it with champagne, glass items and feminine colors, we enhance the kitchen, the star of the show, to make it look playful and alive.
