Stone Planter

Starting off a big project to really, finally fix the fireplace.  One of the things to do is make what was originally a wood storage area to the left of the fireplace better suited as a planter.  The masonry in there is a mess, and there were actually some rotten wood forms from the concrete pour at the base of it.  So, cleaned it all up and put in some concrete leveling.

Then I cleaned up the flashing, nailed it back down, and started putting in some RedGuard to water proof it.
It will take a 2nd coat, and when that's done I'll paint down past it a little so you won't see the red at all.  Then it will get filled with soil and I'll probably put some succulents in there.

Accent Paint

Here the paint is about 1/2 done, so with one coat it's a little splotchy on the wall, but gives a good feel for the color.

Harry Potter Hole

Harry Potter Hole, as my friends started calling it, has had its internal trim installed, and I've put paint on the shelving below it.  This will look good once the flooring is installed.
