Reveal

As Niece Natalie would say, "TA-DA!" - the new fireplace! Below is how it happened.

The conversion to gas was complete and the god-awful shelves were down!

The new gas insert and setback surround.

The resurfacing with the new stone had started - also a good before/after resurface split.

Top - awful brick; Bottom - beautiful stone.

Our living room mid-resurfacing. Good thing I was at work.

Our wonderful stone vendor.

The new gas insert with it's surround atop the new hearth (which also matches the new mantle).

Beautiful new setup - bottom half which includes the new hearth.

This angle shows the new setback - the section they built out on the lower half of the fireplace by about 4" so that we could have the lovely stone mantle you see here.

The new setup - plus one dopey basset.

The new setup - second angle and a second dopey basset.

Next up: PAINTING TRIM!

  2. Are you breathing yet? I'm thinking this phase was really hard on you-someone else in control of the project. But it turned out to be awesome and love how you placed the furniture so the fireplace, with it's roaring fire this winter, is your focal point.
