Here is the fireplace in our house. Outdated. Brass-y. Ugly. Can you say, hello 1972??

And look at what my wonderful husband did today ...


It's not finished just yet but doesn't it look GREAT!! Mark was able to set the tiles today and he framed out the mantel. He's going to sand and stain it but it's really looking good! The decorative tiles in the center are from Steve dePerrot pottery in my hometown of Lititz, PA. We love his work! We try to make a visit to Steve's studio each time we go to PA to see my family. It's kind of hard to see it in the photo but the tiles have leaves on them. We thought that they fit our house and all of our lovely trees very well. So we're on our way with our living room make-over project! It's our last big cosmetic project. Stay tuned for updates as we make progress.
