One of my many projects...

Okay, so it is not as if I don't have enough to do , but sometimes I just need to do something with my creative side. I have been wanting to re-do our fireplace and had this idea. So I went and bought 12 in. slate tiles and spent the afternoon cutting them. It was so many little pieces! Then I put them on. It took a full day and my house was not looking very pretty when I was done. But it turned out just as I imagined it and I love it.

In the middle of the job....

The finished product! Now, I am just trying to decide if I am going to put some on the upper part of it or not.. We will see...
