Weekend Bliss and Reminiscing

So as most of you know we celebrated hubby's birthday on the weekend with a party at our house for a bunch of our friends.  We had so much fun!  I think the best part (other than the cake - yum!) was that we took an entire weekend off from working on the house.

We have been having a lot of fun working on the house, but I think we really appreciated having a break.  We have come a long way, so far we finished the family room and the front hall, we've also made some progress on the powder room.  On the weekend we got a chance to kind of show it off and it was so great to hear everyone's wonderful comments about our progress so far.

We are so happy that our house is starting to feel like our home.  Even though its only been a few months, it's still fun to look back at how far we've come.

Remember what the family room used to look like before...

And now...

The front hall is also one of my favourite places in the house now.  Before it was SO green!

And now it's so lovely...

It's nice to see how far we've come, but I know that we still have a long way to go.  I have some great projects coming up including the powder room getting painted!!  I can't wait to show off that before and after!  Stay tuned...
