home tour weekend.

{april 4, 2014}

what a whirlwind of a weekend.  it was fun and festive, yet also totally exhausting, draining and frustrating.  we kicked off the weekend with the candlelight dinner, which included us opening up our home so those attending the dinner could get a sneak peak of the homes on tour.  then, we headed over to silver street studio to celebrate the home tour kick off with a fundraising auction.  it was a wonderfully festive evening of getting dressed up {pictured above}, dinner and cocktails, and bidding on auction items.  then, we returned to our car to find it had been broken into.  nothing is more frustrating than people stealing your stuff.  so we spent the better part of saturday tying up loose ends {which we are still working on today - yuck}.  but we will get there.  it was totally surreal to have strangers walking through our home, asking us questions and for the most part telling us that they liked our home.  {just a few snarky comments were heard about "not having a bathtub in the master bath" or "why didn't they add more storage in the master closets."} but, whatevs - we love our home and it truly didn't bother me a bit.  sadly, the weather didn't cooperate either - lots of rain and clouds on sunday - so it was a slow day.  overall, it was a crazy, fun and wonderful experience.  would i do it again anytime soon - no thank you!  am i glad we jumped in and went for it - yes!  we met and worked with some lovely people in our neighborhood, which made us even more happy to be right where we are!  it really pushed us to get out of our comfort zone and to complete a bunch of house projects that we have been putting off.  so happy monday friends - i'm off to crawl back into bed cause we also have been fighting colds this weekend.
