A beautiful curved mantel above the vents, what my dad called a heatilator before it became a brand name, would be an awesome addition, but I wouldn't paint it but I'd strip it of the soot and then seal it, but then that is just me, daughter of a fireplace builder.<br /><br />I'm so excited to see how it all comes together, very very excited for you!Lannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018584509455303394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4607260760839481724.post-18357133997994172772011-10-11T23:44:30.052-05:002011-10-11T23:44:30.052-05:00oh wow..guess I've missed your posts for a few...oh wow..guess I've missed your posts for a few days....in your new house already? and already going to work on it....love the fireplace..we've always wanted one but it has never happened....cork flooring is great...we've been looking at bamboo but so far haven't won the lottery....LOL<br />hope the old house sells quickly!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4607260760839481724.post-60618252727815243692011-10-10T17:13:34.206-05:002011-10-10T17:13:34.206-05:00How very nice!

I hope you can get someone to help you with that. It really is a very nice looking home that will soon be ready for your personal touches. Thinking of you!

I am looking forward to the mantle. Thanks for the pics.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08257564938538898594noreply@blogger.com
