At first I thought those first pics were the after ones (just glancing at the pics before reading), and I thought, that doesn't look like Ali at all. The REAL after ones, that's def. you. It looks fabulous, Ali! You guys did such a good job! I wanna see the finished results of the hall after you glaze it, too! PS. I finally registered to comment! LOL XOXOXO It’s funny.

Hopefully you will just be visiting and not moving back. Only because I know you want to stay there. Also, we do have a futon with a Serta mattress in the office. That will be cleaned up and set up at some point. :) Dianne: I would like to have Dianne for my birthday so come visit please and thank you. Essy: You are so sweet! It's all of my years of watching HGTV for hours on end. I promise once we get all the rooms finished you guys will get a tour! Tdo: Woman, I'll be happy to. Also, we need to go for drinks soon! Meg: Thank you! It is quite spacious- nearly as big as the house I used to own. It's 1500 sf with only 2 beds and 1 bath- so imagine the size of them. My house was 16 sf with 3 beds, 2 1/2 baths and formal dining and breakfast rooms. All that in the city for nearly the same as we were paying in the 'burbs. I. Love. It.

I was going to say that your house looks amazing, but it's not just that... it's you who's amazing, because you came up with all of this! You styled it and it looks phenomenal! You know, some people live 10 years in their house and they still can't make it look "homey", and you did it in a couple of days... Way to go! And kudos to Mikey! PS. Now you should make a video and give us a tour! ;) wow… you are AMAZING!

You did such a great job. It looks so much more like 'you' now. I can't wait to visit and sleep in my new bedroom. :p Everything you've done so far is fabulous. Your hard work paid off. (yes, yours too, Mike). My favorite Ali line of the whole decorating process: "It's not about what you like, Mike, it's about design!" :p I'm so glad that Savannah had such a good time. That poem was great. :) You know I don't watch Rock of Love, but I did watch some of last week. I still can't get over that craptastic Paves job they did on his head. Seriously... I tuned in just for that. I stayed for the Ambre mess. It was pretty comical. DWTS made me a little bit sad tonight, but I know why it happened. It was inevitable. But yeah, Marissa bugs the crap out of me. I expected to like her, but I don't. I didn't expect to like Marlee Matlin, but I really do. Carrie Ann's comment last night to Priscilla was priceless, though. Idol was... odd for me. I liked things the first time around that I didn't like so much the second time I ran through it. Syesha sounded like she was screaming through the whole song. WRTF was David Cook thinking (although his cockiness is growing on me). I didn't really 'buy' Michael Johns conviction. Brooke sounded too loungy. Jason is just a weird dude and that song was all over the place. David A. was the best, by far. I totally agree with you. Did you see Lacey over Simon's shoulder? Can't wait for tomorrow night!! Also, I squealed when they promo'd So You Think You Can Dance for next month. :)) Okay, this is bordering on a blog of it's own. I'm out. But I did get an email, so good job, Mikey! <3 Okay, I’ll say it publicly now… your house looks AWESOME so far. You did such a great job. It looks so much more like ‘you’ now.

And huge. When I don't get this job I'm up for and I have to move back to Houston, I'll be crashing in that living room of yours. This looks amazing. And huge.

Poor back. It does look good, though. People need to come by and see it. My back is still hurting from all this painting, and we have a lot more to go. Poor back.
