Can you help me find a thread about a fireplace mantel?

14 years ago

I hate when I think I've bookmarked a thread and then I can't find it. *Sob* And I tried searching but I'm not finding it.

I'm hoping one of you with your elephantine memories can assist :)

Anyway, it was just a plain fireplace/mantel and they added woodwork around the fireplace and then all the way up to the ceiling. It was a beautiful transformation and I'm trying to get DH on board with doing this in our house. But want to show him the before/afters on that thread.

Any ideas?

I don't remember who or where either. But here is an image from alexmoulding.com site that looks the way I want my fireplace to look.

And if you run to your Lowes or Home Depot or good magazine store and pick up the May 2010 issue of Remodel magazine, a Better homes & gardens mag, there is a fabulous fireplace in a lovely blue living room, in a California cottage remodel. I showed it to my boss and she wants it too. It's only on the newstands for another week so hurry up!
