DISCOVERING AND UNCOVERING THE HIDDEN CHIMNEY

There are 2 beautiful chimneys seen on our new roof. One is to the fabulous fireplace in the living room....the other one took a little detective work. It seems at one time there may have been a second fireplace in the kitchen nook but has since been covered by drywall and concrete. We had no idea what we would find behind those walls but we did know that if we could expose that brick it could add such charm to the kitchen and the eating nook. I have always loved the look of old exposed brick walls.. Sooo....Bob got off a little early today and headed over there in his scrubs and went to work! 70 minutes later, this is what was exposed. It is enough to get us excited about what it will look like as more is uncovered. Will take a few more pics this weekend. Have a great Friday....the weekend is almost here!
