Vancouver Mantel




What a difference light, paint and hitting the "refresh" button makes!

Once again, my client karma was very, very good when a lovely young couple contacted me about building a mantel around their new gas fireplace insert.




We brainstormed a bit about how far to go and what to put up there. The original built in shelf was lackluster and required a replacement. The new mantel got an electrical outlet and the windows were re-trimmed, this time with a plumb and horizontal theme!


  The panelling came down easily enough and we began to play with the proportions and deal with the a symmetry of the walls and design.
