The crown moulding is pretty. And I really like the brick. My mom used to have a brick fireplace, and yours reminds me of hers. : ) How wonderful that Samuel was there helping with the project. It looks very nice. Now, you have to put all your lovelies on there to make it your own personal space. <br /><br />~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-39915561868365671582017-03-22T12:17:46.484-04:002017-03-22T12:17:46.484-04:00Martha Ellen, I absolutely LOVE that mantel!
