We’ve got a finished fireplace now! The last two days, Tessera installed the granite columns either side of the fire, and the tiling and compass rose design above; as you can see in the picture, I lit the fireplace to get a better effect – we need to design and install some good lighting (without lighting, the design is not quite as clear).

We’re getting close to a completed living room now! We need to get a cabinet/shelves built to the right of the fireplace, for the stereo and a log store; we need to light the fireplace and paint the ceiling, and figure out some “window treatments” (curtains, for English people!)

Looks just as beautiful in picture as it does standing in front of the fireplace. By the way Ian, I have ‘curtains’ in my house! LOL
