The house is empty. The list is not.

They have keys.
They do not have a bed.

Do not send a plant. Send the order a house actually comes alive: sleep, shower, cover the windows, then the first scuff on the wall.

The story in four kits

Night one

Truck is “on the way.” Sleep, shower, and not be visible from the street.

Week one

Boxes stay closed. The house still has to work: hangers, batteries, the first ant line.

First guests

Someone walks through before the art is up. Extra sheets. Real coffee.

First-time buyer

Then the house talks back: a nail hole, a scuff, a frame. Tools, spackle, a 4-inch roller.
