After deciding we would stay in our house for a few more years, we want to do a couple home improvement projects. First (and only, for the time being) on the list is a fireplace downstairs. Our lower level is so cold and was built with poor heating, so we knew with Logan's toys down here and lots of space to play, we needed to do something to warm it up! This area has been a constant work-in-progress since we moved in. My mom helped paint while I was pregnant, then we rearranged this summer, and now we're looking to make it a cozy place for Logan to play and for us to watch movies someday.
The fireplace arrived today, so its sitting in its place - looking like a major Logan hazard! Luckily, we will soon have a finished product that will keep us warm and toasty this winter! Of course, John (the resident "do-it-all-yourself-stick-it-to-the-man-handyman") is doing much of the work himself, with the help of a few friends and neighbors. I'm sure it will be a while until its perfectly finished just the way we want it, but I'll just settle for functional, at this point! After all, we are under a time crunch now that the weather has turned...
