The looming deadline of having a number of people coming over to your home enforces a tight cleaning schedule and fun times at the end of it! The results aren't show-house quality, but they are a significant improvement!
We hosted for the super bowl last weekend, which meant a couple of days of frantic cleaning and tidying beforehand. The mammoth blizzard DC has been experiencing meant it almost didn't happen, but luckily a few people were able to fight their way through the aftermath of the storm. I think the lure of hot chilli must have been too strong to resist... :)
Since we did some cleaning, I thought I would upload some long overdue pictures of the living room with furniture back after the laying of the floor. It's definitely time for a new camera, and probably a few photography lessons for me too. The lack of decent overhead lighting in THATC makes everything look a little dreary in photos, but it's actually more cosy than dismal. Day to day living in a house undergoing long, drawn-out renovations can be painful - there is always construction stuff everywhere, and it's hard to 'finish' a space. (note the 9ft teak plank leaning on the bookshelf, awaiting it's future home...) I look forward to the day when we don't have any more renovation projects at THATC and I can concentrate on the 'decorating'!
So, without further ado, here are a few (badly lit) pics, enjoy!
Of course, I had to add one of Madra enjoying her kong on the rug!
