Super Bowl Party Ideas

We did have a party! I am so grateful to have a fabulous hubby to help out in the kitchen. He seriously makes some of the most amazing dishes. His famous are pulled pork and chicken wings (clearly the south left an impresison on us!)


Want to know what I made? 

Three o'clock welcomed a football cheese plate and buffalo chicken dip


At four we enjoyed a seven layer dip 



 At five we rolled out the chicken wings (sorry no pics!) and then the main event at six included pulled pork and chessy fries! 



Dessert was saved for half time, so we enjoyed some football brownies and Resurection bread with our Byonce. 


And here is our living room! I am really happy with it! It needs an area rug and some more wall art. (If we owned the place we would have those speakers mounted in the walls- but that's a big hastle if you are going to move)


Wow, I used a lot of cheese! What did you make for the Superbowl?

Our Blank Canvas (read: we have a lot of work to do)




Living room and dining room


Current state of the kitchen. Small, but I can work with this.


Bathroom needs more loving than I am emotionally prepared to give at this point. 


Guest room, can you feel the hospitality?


Who doesn't love a good set of french doors? Apparently, the previous tenants.  If you were wondering, yes the windows were covered with contact paper and then PAINTED! Please tell me they didn't see this on Pinterest or all hope for Pinterest is lost. 


This closet looks like something out of Beetle Juice (nothing is square and it's black and white). Let me tell you, its going to be a miraculous built-in when we are finished with it!



Master bedroom. Yes Mom, I know the floor looks fine in this picture. Upon closer inspection you will see that it is not wood at all, but a sheet of roll-out linoleum intended to look like wood. Complete with fold marks and random bumps (I pulled a corner up and found a thumb tack, I guess the directions didn't specify to sweep the floor before installation)


Master bedroom, thank goodness for those two big sunny windows 


So, now that I need a glass of wine...
