Home Improvement Updates

Anthony finished the fireplace, the mantel and all of the chair railing. We managed to get it all painted this past weekend. Here are the before and after pics of the fireplace and the new painting.

(Notice on this picture the shelves Anthony built that are on either side of the fireplace?)

Anthony built shelves for the end of our hallway, the entry and by the fireplace. They came out great.

Looks great! Those look like the same slate tiles we have on our kitchen and bathroom floors. I love them.
