Yesterday I shared one of our larger projects that Hubby and I completed. I figured I should share the finished post as well.
When we open the cottage this month, we will take on a pretty big project, however, the fireplace will always be our favorite!

As you know, we selected one big project to complete at the cottage – the fireplace!

As you know, we selected one big project to complete at the cottage – the fireplace!
We worked in several stages:
When I left off we had to finish the base in stone and figure out what to do with the mantel.
Hubby tackled the base.
After this stage, we were done with the stones. It really completed this focal point in our room.
Next, I took on the mantel. It is a solid piece of wood, so out came the paint.
It has a nice detail on the front.
Crazy blue! It is a sample oops pot I got a while back. I used it on my French Chair.
I covered the blue with an oops gray.
Once dry, I took 100 grit sandpaper and rubbed over the detail on the front.
I am so thrilled with the end result!
So, here is a quick before and after.
I am so glad that this project is complete!
Enjoy the day!
