Model Citizens

John and I completed a huge task this weekend- painting the living room (the largest room of the house) a neutral tan from a pale green. It looks much better with that big doorway leading into our kitchen and our new dining set, huh? Now we can cook, eat, entertain, and relax in one big open space as opposed to being in three separate rooms. Plus turning the living room into a living and dining area freed up the dining room which we turned into a third bedroom- a totally valuable addition to our home.

And after all that rolling and edging, we were dying to do something entertaining and non-labor intensive. Enter some more fun model house tours. If you recall, we toured a bunch of open houses when the Parade of Homes came to town two weeks ago, and since this past weekend was the last time that all 158 houses opened their doors to the public, we jumped at the chance to visit a few more. This time we brought our camera for some amusing on-the-scene pics. Here’s John enjoying the game room in a giant 6,000 square foot home while I get ready for breakfast in bed.
