Before
After
We finally finished the fireplace. It was very complicated to frame because there were pipes in the way but husband did a great job figuring it out. We got the fireplace from Alpine and they installed it. Father in law had a great tip and we saved a ton of money by having the plumber run the gas line instead of the fireplace crew. Husband and I tiled and grouted. And we finally got the mantle installed (custom built) this week. Now I have no idea what to put there. We tried the painting in the photo but it just isn't the right shape or size.
Totally worth the investment by the way!!
