Tea time!

Our dear friend Erin is getting hitched (next weekend!), and we were thrilled to host a bridal tea in her honor the last weekend in July. The tea also gave us a nice firm deadline to get the main level ready for guests. And we managed to pull it off. The living and dining rooms, kitchen and guest bath were camera ready and glad to welcome our guests for the day - whew! We cut it close, but we made it. And that's what counts :) The only bad news is it's made us a bit lazy. Having the main level nice and comfy again means we've been spending too many days and nights enjoying our house again rather than working on finishing the upstairs part... oops. The exterior looks amazing, but the interior is just studs. Not even a floor. We'll get there. For now, we're taking a little breather and enjoying having our house back (for the most part;).
