Tree Removal
John and neighbors Brian (in tree) and John removed a mulberry tree that our home inspector said needed to go since it was rubbing on the house.
A big job! Check out some of what we left at the curb for trash day!

"Helen, we've got an owl in here..."
I was so inspired by the use of wall decals in the Moen SaturDIY makeover videos that I decided to try it in Macy’s room. It was so easy and now she isn’t asking daily when we can paint her room pink!
Wall decals are available everywhere- Mass retailers, Fabric Stores- and can even be custom made online. Very cool and fast to put up.
Best Laid Plans
After a full week in our new abode, we are pretty settled in. Of course, the last box I had packed (with baby wipes, my favorite sweat pants etc) was missing for 5 days. It was finally located in the attic despite being labeled Master Bedroom!
Additionally, the projects we thought we would be working on are not exactly the same as what the house itself has in mind- yes, she has a mind of her own. Our priorities may have to shift from wall colors to more practical functional improvements. I find myself daydreaming about new windows- where you don't have to open the screen and let May flies in to close the window at night.
We haven't even had a chance to change the kitchen faucet out yet. I keep banging pots and pans on the spout because the old one is low arc.
We did manage to change the showerhead in our Master bathroom which was as John said was- "a five minute project that actually only took five minutes!" We both love our new Moen Inspire Seven-Function Showerhead
