Apple Tree

As I think I have mentioned before we are living in my parents house while they are on an LDS mission in Peru. They had a large apple tree in the front yard that was half dead. We kept telling my Dad it needed to be cut down, but he is kind of sentimental about his trees. Anyway, he asked us to cut it down while they are on their mission, so we cut it down last summer. It was kind of sad, I grew up climbing this tree a lot. My parents also have a large garden in the back yard. We have put grow boxes in to make gardening easier, they are awesome! However there was still a lot of gardening space so we decided to plant a new apple tree to kind of replace the one we cut down. So here are some pictures of the old tree coming down and then the new tree in the garden............

We decided to leave the stump as kind of a bench.

Dresser REDO

This dresser is one my parents gave us.........pretty boring. I have seen some furniture painted black and white on some blogs I follow.............I LOVE this look! So here is my before and after. Although I still think it needs something...........maybe a stencil inbetween the pulls??
