Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

That is cute, Jesse. To go in a breakfast nook? I keep falling in love with art that would be great in my kitchen if only I had open walls.

MY parents have a tree guy they like and trust, but it's a bit far to rec him to you. Maybe Angie's List? (am I thinking of the right name? I get the home repair and political lists confused)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Shine a spotlight to the sky with the symbol of a tree?

I tried that. All I got was this green dude and I think he was inappropriate with the local deer.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Just in the kitchen more broadly.

I had enough stuff to hang on walls for my previous apartments, but have way more walls now. And I've been in this place 2.5 years! Yikes.

Nice. My kitchen is all cupboards, no walls, which I probably should be grateful for considering it is still not really enough storage space, but I have no place to hang something like that.

Most of my upper cupboards are in the pantry, so there are two good-sized empty walls.

Pantry! Now I'm really jealous.

I know, right? It's fab. My mother was on me to open it up so the kitchen feels bigger, like she did upstairs, but I really like having all the storage compact and over there.

Zenkitty, if there's an arboretum or local park with gardens and such I'd ask to speak to whoever's in charge of that for a recommendation.

The city is putting in a botanical garden in a park nearby, maybe I'll check there.

Maybe check the university. I guess not all universities have the agricultural resources I expect from my exposure to LSU and UC Davis, but they do likely have trees.

Pantries just seem like such a good idea. And yet, I don't think my vague plans to annex the living room as additional kitchen space include a pantry. Hm.
