The Fireplace

First Daniel set the hearthstones.

It literally took us days to choose, arrange and set each stone for the fireplace. The stones are different colors and all different shapes and since it would be the focal point of our home we wanted it to be just right!
And here it is all done! The mortar still needs to be done and the door put back on, but we are very pleased. Daniel is going to make a mantle from a piece of white oak from a roll-top desk he made at BYU. I can already picture our Christmas stockings hanging there!
