A Warm and Cozy Fireplace


The gas fireplace has been in place for a while now, and a week or so ago one of the finishing carpenters installed the three pieces of black and green marble, and built the mantelpiece and installed it.  Today a technician came from the fireplace installer, and checked the hookups of gas and electric, and fired up the fireplace for the first time!  We have to let it burn for six hours or more, because the heat causes fumes to be emitted by the paint covering the metal pieces that make up the fireplace.  After it burns for a while, the fumes will go away.  Hey, this is pretty, isn't it?  Wait until the mantel is painted white, and the walls a light gray-green color.

I love the color of the marble - different and so sharp! Your wood floors look beautiful. This will definitely be the "go-to" room for relaxation...bsk
