NEW FIREPLACE IN THE MAKING

Woke this morning and asked.....'can we build a simple fireplace today please?' as always Phil said 'of course'... love him always up for my madness hehehe

So off to find the wood and paint nothing quite long enough in the shed

But a half price floating shelf in Homebase and a 1/3off the white paint (a very very big tube of Dulux white paint a good buy as the whole house has always been white and is now in need of a touch up) and an old pine mirror in the bedroom that needed moving was going to be perfect....

l played a bit with a wire tree, candles and a new Santa l bought at the Birmingham German Market but it needed more



The chimney breast is pale turquoise.....an experiment to add some colour to the walls a few months ago but it will be white again tomorrow and the fireplace will be finished and the stockings hung
Beginning to look Christmasy in the candle light already
