New Fireplace




I was wanting to post a picture of the fireplace that Kirby redesigned so today I asked Jake to sit in front of it and let me take his picture. He didn't really want to so he gave an exasperated look for the camera.

And as I said before, I never thought to take before pictures. Probably that is because I say to Kirby things like, "Maybe we should redesign the fireplace?". And then the next day I come home and the old fireplace is just GONE! Then we have to try to come up with a new plan. Yesterday I came home to a hole in the kitchen wall - and you thought he had finished the kitchen didn't you? Ha! I had mentioned that the area that backs to the fireplace needs a nice cabinet and showed him a picture of a couple nice pieces. So he decided to build it in. He bought a ready made kitchen cabinet which really matches what we have very well. He will install it right behind the fireplace as there is plenty of room. Too bad the builder didn't do it. And we don't use heat in the fireplace anyway - as you can see from the picture!

So here is a picture of the fireplace when we bought the house. A very nice design but too colonial for our tastes.

  1. I can hear you now... "Kirby maybe we should re-design the fireplace so I have a place to store wine".
    What are you going to put in the new cabinet, firewood?

  3. When Kirby gets finished remodeling, he'll have to start from the beginning again. Gotta keep that boy busy. The fireplace looks great.
