Most everything in our house was regular builder grade,cookie cutter design when we moved in. And while it is good stuff, it did not feel like "us". So year by year, we save,tweak, enhance, and change things to make this feel more like our home. Now lucky for us we have a couple of saints that live up the street, and one of those saints is also handy with home improvement!! So with his help we got one more little thing accomplished.....the fireplace mantle. It has bothered us since day 1 that our wonderful, yet massive TV is about the same size as the mantle,and causes us to loose our lovely focal point. So we essentially just framed it out and extended it to the ceiling.
Before our TV and fireplace seemed to compete for the title as the focal point of the room.

But afterward, the fireplace won!
On a side note,eventually the kids will be old enough that we can hang our curtains back up rather then the sad little valences we have now. But until then, they just sit and wait!
