working hard for the home-y

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket

erick and i worked our butts off this monday. we sanded, stained, puddied, painted, cleaned, organized, moved and then some. it was lovely to work so hard together. and then to sit in the results of our labor and be like - yup. that is much better! i won't reveal it all. some things are still a work in progress. for example the tv cabinet (although i prefer to call it the tv buffet) was a real stellar make over. morgan brought it over and at first sight it was not so lovely. rather ugly. and then we slapped on the high gloss black. shined up the brass and viola! a beauty. i am super happy with it. BUTT. we need to grow up and get a flat screen already. our tv is a monster. and i think when we get the flat screen it will look a LOT better.
