Project complete....yay!!!......

Well hello there......how was your weekend??.......ours was somewhere in between cruisey and hectic.......probably a good way to be??..............so......today I have a little home project we have just completed......and by 'we' I of course mean my husb......he does occasionally earn his keep around here and over the past week has been quite productive working on our fireplace surround...........here is a before pic.....

Every summer for the past 5 years we have talked about tiling around this heater but it has just never happened....until now..............(bit worried at this point).......

 

Hard at work........?.......

And tiles are up......I always thought we would use the small brick shaped tiles to give it that old-style look but after having trouble finding the right ones locally it just wasn't happening....so when I spotted these little black beauties in our local Mitre 10 (I should probs be embarrassed how much home decor I find at such hardware stores but I looove it!!) they were promptly brought  home, tried and tested and stuck on before you could mutter "are you sure??".......

I'm actually really pleased with them...even more so when I glanced over to the kitchen and realised I had completely by accident matched the square tiles in with the square kitchen tiles, tying both rooms in together beautifully.......oh the design magic that goes on around here.......
                                                                                  

 

And look!.....we lit our first autumn fire last night......perfect timing......even better, no tiles fell off....and everybody was happy to sit back and enjoy..............

                                                                                 

And that is one more job to tick off our 'to do' list....3687 to go.........

                                                                                 

Have a great week............
