We bought our house in August of 2005. We wanted a house that we could remodel to our own tastes. Light neutral walls, with two-tone paint, carpet, linoleum and oak cabinets through out. The first thing to go was the brick fire place in the family room. Dave spent some time taking the mallet to the fireplace and loud sounds bouncing off our walls made the new neighbors wonder. My brother-in-law helped Dave construct and put in the mantel. Dave did the lovely tile! Now look up above at the before pictures, do you notice the cream walls? That is the color of the walls all through out our house when we bought it!
Here are the results:

It looks SO much better. I wish we had a fireplace in our new house, but we don't. I guess we don't really need one in the south, but it is still fun. Katelyn asked the other day, "Mommy, how will Santa come if we don't have a fireplace?" I told her that Santa is magical and so it won't be a problem. She was satisfied with that answer.
The funny thing about this fireplace mantel, is after we finally got it done, we want to re-do it again!!!
