Wow!  Its been a while since I last posted.  Summer will do that.  Been busy with a lot of things, but one project we got done was changing the fireplace area.  We used to have the older dark wood look, that some may say either had an 80’s appeal, or were more suited for a hunting lodge or gentlemans club.  (needless to say, as an 80’s reject and a man, I liked it!!  In any case, instead, I built cabinets into the bookshelves for more storage, we painted them, and updated the fireplace with stone.  We think it came out real nice!  Pics below…
