Working on the last room - 11/6/07

Finishing up the last room on the 3rd Floor. I figure this will be like the "honeymoon suite" Installed the floor (which it the same floor I used in the living room) and figuring out the fireplace in this room. Want to make it somewhat of a cozy and romantic setting. That is memory paper on the inside and outside of the fireplace. Was going to do the eggcrates again but think this looks pretty good. I'll be putting a mantel on a

The door will

I reinforced the floor on the bottom and make a small channel for the wall that would go on later This is how it looked from the top I cut s
