what a week!

so, its was someone's brilliant stupid idea to host easter dinner at the house.  this week was all about making the first floor habitable by 8 guests including a toddler and schnoodle!

MONDAY: since the boston marathan runs right past the house and the roads were closed, we made a much needed trip to ikea for...extension table and chairs

stools

couch and lamps

what would i do with out ikea?!


TUESDAY:  was all about spackling and caulking the trim

WEDNESDAY:  painting the trim and doors (well, one coat at least)

THURSDAY: painting the trim and doors....yes there is alot of it!

i also sealed the slate hearth- 1 coat.

FRIDAY:  installed coat hooks

bath accessories

removed the protective plastic coating from appliances and test run the dishwasher, range and started up the ice maker!

hung the pictures in the dining room (wait, there were three!)

repaired the picture frame that fell and broke because the sticky wall hook failed!

there, all better.  can you see the tape? ah no one will notice!


installed register grilles on duct openings so that my niece doesnt fall in!

mom set the concrete pavers that connect the driveway to the entry walk.

and the resident bunny stopped by to tell me that she is prego and it would be nice if someone planted some green stuff in the yard!

eesh! next week, i promise!
