I worked some HEINOUS hours at work this weekend - as in, I was AT the hotel BEFORE the sun was up both Saturday and Sunday. Have I mentioned that I'm not a morning person? Having your alarm go off at 5:00am on Saturday morning so you can go to WORK is really not my idea of a good time. So needless to say, I was quite grumpy this past week and weekend.
To help make me feel better, the husband installed a mantle to our fireplace while I was at work on Saturday!! It was awesome to come home to Saturday afternoon - I was so excited! It was especially nice because I literally crashed on the couch as soon as I came home both days, so I got to lay there and stare at his handiwork! Ok, picture time!
The Before:
No mantle at all, just ugly old pieces of trim around the brick. We are also rocking the ghetto cable wire over the fireplace, compliments of the cable guy's "installation" when we moved in. Stapling cable to my wall does not count as installation in my book.
The After:
Fabulous new mantle and trim pieces! Isn't it beautiful? I can't wait to decorate the mantle and hang stockings this Christmas! J even hid all the cable wires under the mantle so we don't look ghetto anymore! I can't believe what a difference it makes - he did SUCH a good job!
Yay for handy husbands!
