Fireplace Reno!

So, unexpectedly we remodeled our fireplace! Lightning hit our fireplace and blew out the stucco on our old one which I never really liked anyway. So, lemons to lemonade...

Old fireplace...

During...Only took them one day to build it!

After...Love love love it! So, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise! We couldn't find a mantle we liked so Jason took a huge beam, sanded it, cut it (courtesy of a friend with an amazing woodworking tool supply), and I stained it!
