We finally decided to fix up our fireplace area since it is (in my opinion) an eyesore and just a bit of a useless area. We found a really great guy who did a fantastic job, and we are really pleased. Joe loved having the work done because he loved to sit and chat with Gary. He would just say "hey, Gary" and then ramble off a bunch of stuff. Of course Gary doesn't quite understand everything Joe says so I had to translate occasionally, but it was fun to watch Joe enjoy it so much. When we came home this afternoon and Gary was gone, Joe walked around looking for him and was bummed the he was nowhere to be found!
We don't have the TV back up yet or anything on the new mantel because we just have to wait for the finishing touches to dry 24 hours, but here are a few photos of the transformation. Once all the dust settles and everything gets put in place, we will add a completed project photo! Of course our other problem is that there is nice, new paint only on the part that Gary had worked on. So we have another painting project to start one day. It can't stay this way too long, it looks pretty goofy in that regard!
