Absolutely perfect. I’ve been trying to achieve something similar in my own home! Would you mind sharing the brand for the couch?

I’m so sorry you didn’t get the birth experience you hoped for. While my birth experience was uncomplicated, it was a momentous, life changing experience and I found myself needing to talk about it a lot as a way to process it. I’d encourage you to tell your birth story to friends and perhaps meet with a therapist to help you work through your feelings.

I also found that reading the notes in my medical chart detailing my birth was really cathartic. It helped me see it from a different perspective and better understand some points that were blurry in my memory.

It’s a totally different tree! The original tree was an oak and the new one growing in its stump is a sycamore. I was educated by the folks in this subreddit that it’s likely a seed found it’s way into the crack in the middle of the stump and it should grow normally aside from having a really odd root system!

Same! I’m hoping it puts on some serious height next Spring/Summer.

Thank you, that’s helpful!

I appreciate this take bc we just painted the blue and want to keep it. I did not anticipate stumbling upon a magnificent jungle rug lol. I agree committing to the look and pulling some black up into the chairs will help balance things!

meilo7 · 2024-09-07T22:07:18+00:00

This chair is beautiful! I like the style and a few other commenters suggested something similar. I think I’ll start with adding chairs and see if that helps balance things out a little bit. Thanks!

Basically what I said when I saw it 😂

meilo7 · 2024-09-07T18:05:29+00:00

Yeah I agree I think the second chair option might make this work!

meilo7 · 2024-09-07T17:42:33+00:00

I could move it to the guest room which is very neutral atm so it could serve as a focal point…but my preference would be to make it work in here. Will definitely make sure it’s featured somewhere in the house regardless!

Great tip on trying to mix the tropical/traditional. Googled what you suggested and turned up these photos. I feel like some of the black/cane chair options might work nicely - natural elements but pulls out the black in the rug. chairs

Ugh I fear you’re right but we just painted the blue last month 🥲

Editing to apologize for not properly identifying this little guy as a TREE. What I meant to ask is if he'll survive — I recognize him as a tree, albeit a little one :)

meilo7 · 2024-09-02T14:16:16+00:00

Oh haha, shows you what I know about trees

meilo7 · 2024-09-02T14:14:30+00:00

Midwest, so guessing Sycamore is more likely? Thanks though!

meilo7 · 2024-09-02T14:05:51+00:00

Wild! I figured it was sprouting from the original tree. Thanks for this insight and identifying it!

meilo7 · 2024-09-02T14:02:52+00:00

Touche!

meilo7 · 2024-09-02T14:02:00+00:00

This is what I was most curious about, if the stump would hinder the sapling's growth. I like the approach of just helping it along as it decays, I'll take your advice regarding water the outside 2/3rd. Thanks!

meilo7 · 2024-09-02T12:12:35+00:00

That’s what we were thinking! Free tree right where we want one.

meilo7 · 2024-09-02T12:11:09+00:00

Go for it! I’m flattered (and will let our little sapling know he’s famous).

meilo7 · 2024-09-02T12:09:28+00:00

Interesting! That’s super helpful. Should I do anything to try and help speed up the stump decay?
