house warming
our church community gave us a house warming party on sunday. this was great incentive to finish up all the major projects.... floors, walls, bedroom, ceiling, etc.
my hubbie worked so hard.... what a trooper!
we had 51 adults, 18 kids, and one neighbor..... what an outpouring of of support & love.
here is one table of food:
christian and mary made all the food - grilled flank steak, grilled figs with blue cheese and prosciutto, artichoke dip, homemade bread sticks, hummus, corn salsa, roasted peppers, tomatoes & goat cheese with olives, crab cakes, and that really is just the tip of the ice berg. it was amazing!!!!
here are some pics of the house:
we even painted the stairs from poop brown to black:
we have an entry way:
our kids area in the dining room: (ikea rocks!)
our bedroom:
showcasing our new bed (our first headboard in seven years of marriage. we can actually read in bed and not roll away from the wall).
here are the floors & baseboards. what is just not communicated in a picture is how much work it was for these baseboards. j actually had to replaster about 4 inches where the new baseboards were shorter than the originals that he removed. of course, then it needs sanding, another coat of plaster, sand, prime, then paint.
