It is finished….mostly.
One of the last house renovation projects hanging gloomily over our heads was the fireplace. We did the demolition nearly three years ago, leaving a good-sized hole in the wall, complete with exposed insulation. Since we were out of steam and out of renovation budget after redoing every single surface in the house, it had to stay that way. Interestingly, you get used to a hole in the wall.
But now, minus grout, it is finished.
My husband, who can do anything, did the tile work then built and painted the whole thing in one afternoon. Impressive. And I love it.
Still looking for the right accessories to add to the mantle, but had to brag on Ande’s work now.

Did I mention I LOVE it!?!?
I LOVE IT! Seriously, it’s amazing!
I’ve seen it in person and it’s beautiful…….It is nice to have seen the “before” and ‘AFTER” OF EVERY room in the house that God gave to Ande and you and His ministry. I am taking joy in all the blessings that God has shed on your family. Love, KK
so lovely. i’m having mantle envy right now. seriously, ours is creepy looking ;)
Before and after no kids, then little boy in your pic! It looks great!! I really like that room.
Andy does really good work….he makes things I would think twice about before tackling, look easy!
