Blake's Project

Last week we were able to go to Blake's sister's house to build them a new fireplace mantel and some bookshelves on either side--well, Blake went to build it, I went to help support the cause :) He did a fabulous job! Really truely, the last picture doesn't do his work justice. There is a lot of detail you can't see. Click on the picture to blow it up. He came home from Home Depot with nothing more then big pieces of wood, molding and some tools and wha-la!!

This is what their fireplace looked like when they first moved in a little less then a year ago.

This is what Blake had to work with when we showed up at their house. Notice how all the dark paneling was taken down and the walls painted--nice.

This is the end result--well, almost. then still need to finish around the edge of the hearth and do a few touch ups, but can you believe the DIFFERENCE!! Wow, LOVE IT!!
