Ta-Da!

This is from the original Napolean Fireplaces brochure. It shows the contemporary installation that we decided to go with in our basement .....


.... and this is how it actually turned out! You can't really see the flames in this view because of the overhead lights and the camera flash, but when the lights are dimmed the fire actually looks real. It's way cool, and as you can see I love to lay on the couch and soak up all the heat it throws out!


It's hard to believe it was exactly two years ago today that we posted the first "home improvement" entry, but that's how it goes when you start any kind of do-it-yourself project I guess. It never ends either ..... there are more projects still sitting on the drawing board!
