We’re moving pretty slowly with decorating our home [we will have lived here TWO years in January!] but we have managed to do a few projects around here.
There were a few obvious things that were on the top of our to-do list. #1: the family room area.
BEFORE
Isn’t this just a bizarre use of space? Do we really need to have a big post coming out of the fireplace like that for the flue? It’s all just strange. Plus the pink/green tile was just killing me.
AFTER
So, in October 2010 we had a fabulous general contractor come in and frame/stucco in the windows, give us a real mantle, & a built-in. And one year later . . . October 2011 . . . I finally found a tile of sorts to put on the fireplace. So, it’s finally complete! And a MUCH better use of space for the family room. And, it allows the couch to face the other way so it really opened up the room.
Next project? The bathrooms that are still stuck in the 1980’s!

IT LOOKS FABULOUS!!! I absolutely love it! That pink and blue tile was pretty awesome though... :)
I love the new tile surround. It looks like brick to me in this picture. Am I close?
