Well, here she be! The fireplace reveal. I apologize for the dark, moody photos in this post. I will be sure to take more on a bright and sunny day so that you can see the details of the fireplace area better. I hope you can get an overall idea of what we were going for.
first an okay corner, then a hole in the wall...
and after...
a functional wall with added storage and a touch of cottage character...

| Framed by two cabinets with extra storage, the fireplace and flat panel tv work together to create a focal point. |
 |
| Thrifted chairs received handsome new slipcovers (courtesy dear Mom) in an inexpensive fabric with a linen look. |
 |
| Lights were added to the cabinetry to spotlight unique collections and favorite finds. |
 |
| Shapely vintage fans form a collection in the right-hand cabinet. |
 |
| Footed urns from Home Goods & an heirloom German clock are at home in the left-hand cabinet, which also holds those necessary but not so attractive electronic components. |
 |
| Blues, whites, and browns make for a summery color palette. |

We still have some things to finish off...a slab of stone for the hearth and one for atop the mantle. I'm think marble...something akin to carrera...white with the black/gray striae. It would coordinate with another marble tabletop that I have in the room. Do you think that would work?
