Upstairs Fireplace Remodel

I know this isn't bad, but we didn't dare use it as a fireplace without having it checked out professionally.

The Idaho Chimney Life guys are amazing, creative, and hard working. During our talks we (Shanna and I) made the decision that it would be most cost effective and be easier to maintain if we swapped to gas fireplaces. Chimney dudes came and fixed chimneys and cleaned everything, then came back and put in two gas fireplaces.

Upstairs, the fireplace was changed out before the flooring so this is the original tile hearth.

We chose the same tile that we used for the front entry

While working on the gas line hook up they uncovered a void space behind the right side paneling. Such a surprise to find built-ins, though they were minus doors and drawers. Those came in later with the larger work on the remodel.

I loved how excited my remodel guys were when I said I wanted the built in painted black.

Here I am enjoying my mortage, the new fireplace, the new hearth, and the new old built-in
