Finishing the Fireplace

Gerald's big project was to finish the fireplace.

On the first day, he laid the tiles in the floor.

After they had set up overnight, he added the upright pieces...

and the chair rail moulding.

Here's how it looked when he was finished. There were just two little pieces on each end where he ran out of chair moulding. We'd have to finish that next time.

On our last day, we sealed it with high gloss finish, which Gerald hoped would reflect the fire light. We'll see on the next trip.
