Historic Home Tour - Showing our home

Our house was on the Historic Everett Home tour this weekend so we have been working hard the past week (with the help of Kristen's parents) to get everything cleaned up and all of the tools moved up to the shop.

We also had a long list of items that got worked in each room to get the house in working order. 

Here are a couple of the pictures of what it looked like just before we had around 300 people come through and check out what we have been working on the past two years. We are going to rest for a couple of days and then back to work on the backyard project.

 

New Furniture

Kristen and I found a local place that has some great furniture so we bought a couple of pieces to put around the house. The nice thing about all of it is that it is solid mahogany. That also means that we had to get our neighbor to help move the large cabinet in. Even when it was split in two pieces, I think each weighed around 150 lbs. The large cabinet unit was put in the office along the wall which meant that we had to put in the baseboard there first.

Here the unit is all installed and filled up with books!

We also pickup up a small table for the front hall (and the bench behind it)

And a night stand and lamp for the bedroom.
