FIREPLACE & ACCESSORIES

Ah, finally a better photo of the fire place.

We were able to build this fire place ALL for $50.

Super awesome, right?

 I just showed my dad a picture of the mantle on the left
 & he built me one almost identical, just based off the picture.

o,  i wanted to put tile around the fire place
like on the photo on the left but my space is pretty limited
and we were afraid it would get too wide.

we just bought 1 sheet of MDF from Menards $35

& this stuff my dad calls "ship lap" $15

its really just primed tongue & groove planked 6" wide wood.
& than I painted the fire place with Pittsburgh Paints Delicate White.
it's so white that they added more white to the already white paint.
crazy huh? told you i have a white fetish.
 we're using the same white for our trim & it's on our doors.
semi-gloss finish-it makes it easier to wipe off & clean. 

o, ps. please don't mind that we still don't have base board.

 i'm currently loving all these accessories for under $60.
I'm thinking I may need to add a couple of these to my mantle.
& of course there all white.

& a recap of those amazing wedding photos.

thanks to the wonderful Jennie (Jennie Davis Photography).
check her out. she's the best. 

& my cousin coming all the way from alaska
how lucky am I to have two talented photographers?!

 

 

 how awesome is this chalkboard sign that my uncle made?!
he used an old window & we displayed it outside the reception.

our reception was perfect in every way.
the environment perfect & the dessert was delicious.
we did a ice-cream bar & a dessert bar with lots of desserts. 
the little boxes on the table were "thank you's"
little jars filled with sprinkles.

 

 

okay enough boring you with wedding photos.

but i do love this man & i'm so happy to spend forever with him.
