    so, did you take the plastic bucket out of the inside? or does that stay in?
    also, I would think (after working on a Christmas tree farm for years going through lots of things people do to their trees and then wonder why they dried out so soon)
    that that drilling into the truck would cause it to dry out faster as it would cause
    a wound in the trunk. and one other question. why would you need a concrete tree stand? no criticism… just wondering 🙂

      The plastic basket stays inside to hold the water for the tree. I don’t know about it making it dry out faster, but I keep it well-watered and haven’t had any issues with it in the past. I don’t need a concrete tree stand per se, but I wanted something different this year!😊 ~Chelsea

    Interesting idea and looks so simple. Isn’t it really heavy though? I can say my kitties would not be knocking over the tree so easily. 😊
    I love your show and these projects. I rarely get to do them but you never know when you find that perfect time and project.

    Merry Christmas, Chelsea!

      Yes it is heavy! I’m planning to drag it to the front porch and use it as a planter when the Christmas season is over! ~Chelsea

    On a tv show a while ago you and your dad helped a couple up date their bathroom and at the end you shared a shower cleaner that used once a week or so. Will you tell me the name of the product again please. Thanks so much. Have a safe Holiday

    Hey Chelsea, Hope all the family have a wonderful holiday. Just another way to use your discarded Christmas tree is to bungee it to a fence post, small tree or anything that will hold it upright. When the winter weather gets bad, the birds will harbor in it to stay out of the weather. I also put pinecones with peanut butter and seeds, overripe apple and orange slices, strung popcorn, etc. for them to eat. When spring comes, you can recycle for firewood or mulch. Stay Safe, Grateful and Jolly.

Our Front Door Is Installed!👏🏻I’ve craved Our Front Door Is Installed!👏🏻I’ve craved a door like this for over 5 years. Lots of glass and light-colored wood. I have lots of similar doors saved in my camera roll to prove it. I’m so happy it’s finally mine!
.
.
This was the first choice I made on our exterior renovation. All other choices were made because they compliment this door. Like I really like it a lot!😍But also you have to start somewhere with all of the decisions in a renovation, make one choice that will influence the rest.
.
.
Cannot wait to get it sealed and protected from the elements so it’ll last for a looonnnnggg time!🤩

Do you think Lucy is a natural with the camera?😆No coaching necessary!

It hit me last night. THIS is the house my kids wi It hit me last night. THIS is the house my kids will grow up in. This will be the background to their memories. They won’t remember the broken tile, unpainted handrails or all of the works in progress like they’ll remember how their home made them feel.
.
.
They don’t need anything fancy, just a place to let their imaginations run wild.🌿I’m praying to keep that in mind with all of the decisions I’ve yet to make during this renovation process! If they can’t fully live here, neither can I.🥰

Today brought me right back to this time last year Today brought me right back to this time last year during the first part of ‘Lockdown 2020’. When the only people we saw besides our family were the municipal workers picking up our garbage.🤪But it also brought back the best memories of playing outside all day, getting plenty of snuggles, and the most perfect springy weather. It was a weird time but I feel like I was the best version of myself. And I don’t want to ever forget Spring 2020.
.
.
I hope we have even more memories to add to the bank for Spring 2021!☀️🌸
