I took the above picture when we were in Cape May, NJ. for Lizzie's boot camp graduation.

And the fireplace.

As we finished the bathroom we thought, life would just be too peaceful to relax now. So we decided to reface our fireplace, one side of it. Now this picture is of the OFFICE side of the FP, but we replaced the other side, the family room side. I forgot to take a before pic of that side. So today I snapped a shot of the other side, it was a traditional black/brass like this side. The tiles were chipping, and are on this side. So we hacked off the old beige tiles and got to it.
Sparing you all of the in progress pics, which there aren't any...this tile job was smooth sailing and done in an evening. We repainted the trim around the glass with a hammered silver finish, which was not totally dry yet.

And voila! The carpet will stay as is for now, b/c it is all getting ripped out and we are putting wood flooring down in the future. Stay tuned for what the OTHER side of the fireplace looks like down the road as well!! :D

And here is just my son being his usual sweet, charming self today.
