Here's version 2. Not much changed but I took the advice of some and changed
the lighting and used much higher antialiasing settings. I'm not sure if I
like this one or the other version better, they both are nice and have
different atmospheres, the first one has a more intimate feeling while this
one is brighter and softer. I've also added a few objects, the bottles at
the back, plate in the sink, and the lamp off to the side. I tried many
different antialiasing settings in an attempt to smooth out the blinds and

aperture of 0.05 did nothing at all, +AM2 +0.01 +r9 would have taken weeks
if not months. I ended up using +AM2 +A0.05. I might try better settings in
the future but at over 71hrs trace time I'm getting tired of doing this
one:) Here are the stats and settings for this version:
