One more thing...

I forgot to mention it, but the idea of the pantry with the red screen door (see a previous post)  is probably not going to be a reality after all. Once we removed the fireplace surround, and the bead board behind it.....and some of the other stuff connected to the fireplace, it looked pretty good...at least to us, so we've decided to leave the fireplace open to expose the stone on the front and sides. Instead of an enclosed pantry with a screen door, Jim is going to build the wall I mentioned in the previous post and we'll slide some type of storage cabinet into that little cubby space....at least that's the plan until something else changes our minds!

                                                                                SO....




Red screen door pantry....out.
