Fireplace Mantel Project

[Gigi]

At the beginning of the winter we added a fireplace in our living room.

I took the plan right out of a scene from Desperate Housewives- We added bead board along the whole wall, and a little shelf extending along it to hold pictures...1332

The little bird pictures came from Tammy's sister who is an artist that has an Etsy shop...

Looks great Gigi- so glad to have you back and Trisha has been telling me you ordered more paintings. Thanks for supporting her and her art- she truly appreciates it.
Now more pictures since you are back okay? Been busy with those lovely little girls haven't you?

Tammy--- Luckily I've been able to see the grandgirlies quite a bit--both here and at their home.

I'll see what pics I have...

What's your latest project?

When my daughter saw my bird paintings she asked for some for her March 17th b-day ( Your sister said that's your b-day too!)...

Carrie- yeah Trisha told me that. We share the same bday- does your daughter love her bday on that day? I did mostly in college as I got in bars and drinks free on that night :)

[Gigi]

It really is a fun b-day for her- and being Irish helps! ;) She'll be 33 in March.
