Comment on I See This Project In My Future by Christi Timberlake

Hello Kristi,
I just saw your post on your mother’s fireplace. Being in the hearth industry, I do indeed have some suggestions for you. Sadly, the staggered brick “mantle ” comes down too close to the opening of the fireplace to be able to be “capped over” with anything. However, you could have a brick mason “shave” the protruding brick off and then you would have a flat surface to deal with! The other thing I woud caution is to make certain that you adhere to the clearance to combustibles rule ( 8″ of clearance on either side of the fireplace opening and 12″ at the top ) Beyond that clearnace, you can cover over all the brick with sheet rock or cement board and decorate to your heart’s content! I love that you dared to paint the brick at all. In my daily working, most homeowner’s complain that they can’t stand the look of their brick but they baulk at paint nearly every time I suggest it. However, when I have convinced people to do it, they come back in our store ranting and raving about just how much it changed the look of the entire room! Just like most decorating, sometimes it just takes a friendly and knowledgable nudge Keep up the excellent work. I just love your site!

Where did you get the grasscloth wallpaper and what paint color is that? I’ve been trying to find some grasscloth/textured wallpaper for my bedroom and I love your color scheme!

Loving the cork bathmat, where can I get one of these (or do I have to make it myself)?

I have watched every episode, while no one else I know has even heard of it! For those of you having trouble finding it, check your local library. My library has it and I intend to watch the whole thing again when I can. Although I love the story, house and clothes, I also love the setting.
