Get-together for Steve

We finally had the courage to invite people over to our new house for a small get-together on Saturday March 11. I used Steve's birthday (on the same Saturday) to persuade him, because to him the house is not even close to being showed off. But people came by, and he survived. I think we were happy about the response, we were able to show people why we bought the house/what we fell in love with - the big windows/good light inside, and the big yard with the herb garden outside. The good company continued into the midnight hours with music and drinks downstairs, and we even ended up with guests sleeping over. That's what we love - nothing's better than a Sunday breakfast at home with good friends.

Remember the upstairs living room before we removed the carpet, refinished the wood floors, and painted the walls? This is what it looks like now with our cool little sofa.
