Housewarming Parties, Battery Powered Candles, and Orbs

So I almost completely forgot to show off my new and improved living room, which is now officially wallpaper-free. I guess I could have taken a few "before" pictures, because it really was one of the more liveable rooms when we moved in, so I wasn't entirely embarassed by it, but I guess I just forgot. I have no excuse except for lack of memory.

So anyway, in honor of ridding both the sunroom and the living room of both wallpaper and funky paint color, we had a rockin house-warming party. I had never been to a housewarming party before, so I didn't know that people actually brought presents to these things. Good thing my first house-warming party was my own so I didn't show up to someone else's without a gift.

We have moved more than five times since we got married and I can't believe we've never had a house warming party before. If I would have known that we could get presents I definitely would have jumped on the housewarming party bandwagon years ago. We even got this candle that runs on batteries. I couldn't figure out what in the world was wrong with it when I put the batteries in because the light kept flickering. I thought maybe it had a short in it until I realized, oh yeah, it's supposed to flicker, you know, like a candle. Seriously, how dense is that?

So anyway, here's a look at the living room that took me three coats of paint on top of a primer coat. The ceiling had to all be done with a brush because of all the bumpiness in the texture. And don't mind the pink dining room in the background, I haven't exactly figured out how I'm going to tackle that room yet.









Here's the really interesting one. There are orbs in this photo. Kinda crazy.
