Decking the halls

We had such a busy weekend.  There was baking, crafting, cleaning, decorating, ball playing, tree trimming (not the Christmas tree), shopping, partying, and very little sleeping.

Chocolate covered marshmallows



Banana pudding














Cheese balls- aka "cheesy balls of joy"














A little tree trimming















Resting from playing ball too much














Decorating dilemma- we have a big ugly safe in our fireplace that can be covered by a picture but not by my pretty new wreath














Decorating solution- buy a $6 tablecloth from Big Lots and hope nobody asks why it's hanging from the fireplace (it really does look better in person!)














A few of you have been asking for some house pictures, so here are a few.  I'll take more when other rooms are more complete.  Please ignore the fact that there are no curtains in any rooms and no pictures on the walls- we'll get there eventually!
Guest room














Living room- still lacks coffee table and end tables (and curtains, and pictures...)














Fireplace room- we don't know what else to call it














Have I mentioned the views from the back side of the house?

Looks like your house is coming along nicely- it looks very cozy (even without curtains and pictures on the wall!). mmmmm, cheesy balls of joy.....

Mmmm chocolate covered marshmallows and cheesy balls of joy... two of my favorites!

I like your house a lot! I think you should call the fireplace room the "den" because for some reason fireplaces are den-ish to me. :)
