Through the dining room archway, you can see the Parker kitchen. It's also quite large to accommodate this big family. The kitchen is mostly Mrs. Parker's domain, but she gets help from her kids, and even Jane, on occasion. There is even a bit of magic done here!
“Jane?” Mrs. Parker called from the kitchen. “Is that you?”
“Oh, good,” Mrs. Parker responded, sounding relieved. “Could you come here?”
Mrs. Parker was pulling layers of cake out of the oven. “We’re running a bit late today. Could you help me frost the cake?”
“Of course!” I said, excitedly reaching for the large bowl of shimmering frosting in front of me.
“We can’t put the frosting on until the cake layers are cool.”
“Oh,” I said, dropping my hand. “How long will that take?”
“Not long at all.” Mrs. Parker pulled her clear crystal wand out of the air and waved it over the cake pans. I felt a slight chill and shivered. She smiled at me. “That should do it.”
Off to the left, is the downstairs bathroom. And that takes care of the first floor! And since this second picture is of the kitchen still under construction, I'll mention here that the Parkers had this house built for them. They needed quite a few specifics, and they planned for this to be their permanent home base, so they went all out.
Being the founders of a media company has perks, though it probably cost a lot less to build this huge house in Jane's 'little nothing valley' than it would in, say, California or New York. 😆
Yes, the Parkers are rich. But they don't live too extravagantly, all things considered. 😂
