Our beautiful new mantle and mirror
Spring has officially sprung in the Martin house... starting with some good old fashion spring cleaning, followed by Chad's latest woodworking project in building us a new mantle for our fireplace! Yes, for you Colorado kin, Florida houses do have fireplaces... we don't use them, but we have them :) Completing the whole fireplace "wall" we found a beautiful mirror to top it off!! We had our good friend John Carter helping to pull the pieces of the mantle together -- who knew it was so complicated to put 5 pieces of wood together + the 1 that hooked it to the wall? Certianly not me -- my idea was to get two brackets and put a nice shelf on it. Good thing I'm not in charge of home improvement installments! And, good thing I have a husband who insists on doing things the hard (I mean right) way :)Next on the list is to refresh our landscaping around the house. The weather is finally steady in the upper 60s and 70s with little chance of freezing, so we figure we are safe to start planting our spring/summer flowers.
After the very, very, very cold weather we had this winter, we are all very happy for the return of the warm sunshine!
