So somewhere along the line the home remodel project of replacing the carpet in the main areas with wood-look tile has now turned into all that PLUS a complete fireplace renovation.  LOL!

Wade is going to completely revamp the mantle, add wood trim and stone to the bottom, and shiplap (yes, I’m a shiplap lover) to the top.  We’ll also add custom built-ins to that funny little indent to the left of the fireplace!  Really looking forward to our “new” living areas!

So for comparison, here’s some “before” pictures of the house! Some of the walls are kind of plain as we’ve already started to remove pictures and furniture in prep for the tile work in a couple weeks. =)
