This week we decided to remodel our fire place. I found some ideas in magazines, used my imagination and drew up the plans for our perfect fire place. After that Jake got to work and made my idea come to life and it is beautiful!
The "before" picture. And in case you're thinking "Why remodel? That's a beautiful fire place!" Let me show you some up-close pictures.
As you can see it's not that pretty.
Covered in paint, crayon, and whatever else was on it, not to mention some chips in the brick that wasn't so pretty.
This is a little more than half finished. We painted the brick step and what surrounds the fire place, covered the bottom in wood, added to the mantel piece, and put sheet rock on the top. Jake does a wonderful job!
The finished project!
And the final look...still missing some decor but that's pretty much it. It looks better up-close and personal so come over and take a look! We love visitors!
