I'm pretty excited, I am having a bridal shower for Melissa at my house. Of course the non-exciting part is the list of things I have to do to the house prior to the party. I decorate here and there, but don't always finish things. Well, the list has been started.
To Do:
Finish Hanging Photos on Photo Wall
Finish Hanging Other Random Art Around House
Get New Dinning Room Table Set(We aren't getting one because of the shower, it's just time for a new one)
Get Husband to Work on Backlighting Project (this might be the hardest one...lol)
Get Paint and do Random Wall Touch Ups
I think that might be it, but I'm sure I'm missing something.
The Bridal Shower is going to be a tropical themed one, since the wedding is a destination wedding. We are having a candy/treat bar, smoothies being made with a Margaritaville Blender, a few games TBD, and of course Food also TBD.
Once things start coming together I can post some fun photos. Melissa has some really cute ideas.

An Awesome Wedding Invite
My BFF is getting married in Florida Jan. 2010. They sent out the invites now, since after the wedding a bunch of the wedding guests including the just married couple are taking a 7 night cruise.
Their save the date's rocked too. They looked like airplane tickets.
Here is a picture of the awesome message in a bottle wedding invite. It has sand and little shells in the bottom of the bottle.

Paint Progress
So far we have painted the living room, entry way, stairs, loft/family room, dinning room, and the hallway to the bedrooms. We did that in 2 days. It went fast because my father in law came and helped. Saturday we are going to paint the kitchen and the guest bathroom...maybe the master bathroom if we are motivated.
After that we will only have 2 bedrooms to paint. Maybe we will wait a while to finish those...I'm more excited to decorate the house now that the painting is coming along.

Paint
We've decided on the paint color for the main rooms. It's from Sherwin-Williams. The color is called:
Pediment SW 7634
It's a nice neutral color with a hint of gray. I tried my best to take a picture of it. I tried to take one against the wall, but it did not turn out well. I had to put it on kitchen counter to get a clear shot.

My Walk In Closet
The master bedroom has 2 closets. One is a standard closet and one is a walk-in closet. Closets are very plentiful in the house, which is nice for storage.
I get the walk in closet, of course. Here are some pics. It's kind of hard to take a really great shot, so it's a series of a few photos.
View from Open Door.
The view to the right. The hanging shelf is higher for dresses.
This is the view to the left, it's a shelving unit that will be used for my bags.
(The 2nd picture of the shelving unit is the beginning of my purse collection moving in. It's only about 1/3 of my collection)

Cloth Napkins
I don't know why, but I've always wanted them. I even registered for a set. I found both these sets for amazing deals at World Market. They were 90% off during the store closing sale. We'll see how much use they get once I wash them. They also needed to be ironed...I haven't ironed anything since Home Economics in Jr. High, so maybe they won't survive being ironed...
I think I personally like the black one's more, but both a pretty.

Laptop Desk
We have one desk in the office already for the PC. I wanted my own desk for my laptop. I knew I did not want the traditional computer desk. I spent some time searching Craigslist. I think at this point I have a love/hate relationship with Craigslist. I was lucky and found the desk/table pictured below. I know it's white. The seller gave me the black table pad for free. I have a pink laptop, so it works. Also the walls won't be white much longer.
The desk ended up being another find of a person who was moving and needed to get rid of the item. It's in perfect condition. You can't tell someone else even used it. I found out it was from Ikea, but I paid a lot less, so I'm happy.
