It was not pretty, people.
The very biggest one was right outside of our master bedroom window, but it had been dying a little more every year and making us more and more nervous with the big wind storms that we get out here all the time.It was a pretty tree though!.

We’ve actually had three or four arborists come out to look at it over the last few years and they’ve all said that it really just can’t be saved.Obviously you can’t tell when it’s mid-November and all the leaves are gone, but the whole front half right by the road was dead..So we had to have it cut down.

It was quite the impressive operation though!.They started out by using this super-long chainsaw-on-a-stick thing to remove all of the smaller lower branches.. Then, we actually had to have our power line to the house disconnected so that all the machinery could be moved in closer to the tree..

Since Chris was home that day to watch the spectacle, we decided to also paint our kitchen cabinets.
And of course the power was out, so we painted our cabinets basically in the dark because, as you can see, it was a pretty cloudy day.How to Make Your Home Feel Like Summer!.

I’ve partnered up again today with Dyson to talk to you about my darn carpeted stairs.
I mean, they look pretty great right now, but they’ve been driving me just a little crazy for the last 4 years.I’ve been wanting to take the carpet right off of them, but that’s a pretty big job and we just haven’t gotten to it yet, so I’ve had to do the best I can to keep them clean in the meantime.
