I woke up Saturday morning and said to myself, "Self, lets makeover the fireplace today."
It was about this point that I realized that self and I had better inform Jeremiah of his new-found plans for his Saturday =)
Since he had a middle school boys campout to get to and I only had the use of his massive muscles for a few short hours...we got right to work. I went off to Lowes to gather supplies and left him to "prep" the fireplace and entertain the kids.
Side note: I love the way Lowes smells =)
Somewhere between when I left and I got home...Jeremiah decided that it was a great idea to repaint some of the spots in the bathroom that had needed touching up.
Now, I probably wouldn't have encouraged this...seeing as how we were now very committed to the fireplace project...and cramming another project into our very short timetable was a tad bit overwhelming to me.
But hey, when the man gets motivated, just get out of the way and let him go! =)
Without further ado...
The before shot:
The during shot:
Oh yes, the kids were a huge help =)
And finally...the after shot:

Unbelieveable! It is beautiful. Why haven't you done that to my house!
that looks great Jenn!!
ps I love the way Lowes smells too...i don't know why though because it's an odd smell. But, it never fails, right when I step in the door, I take a BIG sniff! Kinda like in a shoe store! :)
It looks great.. super job. It changes the appearance lots.
Wow! It doesn't even look like the same fire place! :) Good job!
Another great makeover by Jennifer Hambrick...when are you going to get your own tv show?? It looks GREAT!! Way to go!
Wow! Tim has always hated that fireplace. I think he'll really like the change. The Hambrick family is a machine!
I'm Speechless!!
Looks great Jenn! now yall can mark another big to do off the list! It really does make everything go together better - cant wait to see it in person.
and i have to agree the smell of lowes is amazing!
I guess I'm gonna have to go to Lowe's and sniff the place. I was there over the weekend and I love the place, but I have to admit I've never noticed the smell.
You guys did a great job!!! It is beautiful.
Wow! Good work! :)
Wow!! How did you do that?? I need you to come "play" at my house!!
