He wanted to build our own Mantel cause the old fire place had none....just ALOT of brick. We wanted something not to bold cause it is a BIG fireplace. So we sat down and discussed a few ideas. Well it took him 2 afternoons of work to come up with this....
Nice!! I love it!! Thank you honey! Job well done! Now i have something pretty to look at...well when that cardboard box is gone anyway. (Side note: the fireplace was gutted by the ol'hubby. We wanted a real fireplace not gas. SO this is the look we have till the fire place insert comes in.) We also will be white washing the brick. I will post pics of that when it happens. But for now i just want to say THANK YOU to my hubby for making this for me. :-D 
The (not so pretty) painting i have on the mantle is from (you guessed it) a yard sale! I bought it cause of the frame. It was only .50 cents! I'm going to paint over it with my own idea for a picture. And stain the frame darker so that it doesn't blend in with the wall color.
Well as always i'm off to a busy weekend. Lots of projects to finalize. Can't wait to show you what i finished today on Monday.....
Have a great weekend!!
