Men in Trees

We woke up bright and early this morning to the sight of men in trees and the sound of chainsaws.

Those trees were really tall, so that meant a really big crane came along too.

Our summer landscaping project has finally begun.

These guys are good. They made it all look so easy!

Now we have a bunch of these.

And these.

And these.

And tomorrow morning they will be back bright and early for round two. Good thing, because now there is a crane in the trees!

Sweet Cream Buffet

This sweet cream buffet comes from Susan and it just might be my favorite piece that she's ever painted.

Susan found this one at a yard sale. Just look how sad it looks in this before photo!

It had a few veneer issues that she repaired with wood filler. That ruled out staining the top, but Susan thought chalk paint was the perfect option here.

I just love the way she used a combination of old white and cream. The cream is a yummy, buttery color and you know how much I love yellow!

And don't you just love all the pretty details?

Nicely done Susan. This one is a real beauty!
