Nice Cookies

The old brown mantle has been bugging me forever, so this weekend I built a new one with MDF, some crown molding and a little trim. Still needs final coat of paint, though.

Nice! Great little weekend project. IN for finished pics.
Looks pretty good.

Now go get some muratic acid and clean those bricks on the fireplace surround.
great job on the mantle, now you need to redo the brick fasca with some nice marble.

I plan on putting tile over the brick…not sure what look I’m going to go for. Something contemporary, don’t think marble will fit the house.

And yes, the wallpaper sucks ass. That’s going to go eventually as well.
