Day 128

The brick hearth was built last Friday. I beleive this brick we selected is called Stratford. I like it because it is varigated and just a little bit scruffy. My husband likes it because it makes me happy, but is not TOO scruffy. :) Here the children are modeling for what I hope to be the first of many fireplace snapshots. You can see here that the trim carpenters have begun work on the wood mantel. It is made of poplar and will be stained.
