What did you accomplish today?

[Aeroknow]

It would look good.....especially with a few rock shelves

I’m putting a mantel made out of wood on top so i can hang stockings during christmas. Ok! Lol

Cool, I'm just happy to have the shelves in my lowers that pull out so I don't have to get on my knees to get a pan off the back of the bottom shelf. The trash can cabinet I got is pretty cool also.

What's the thought on wood? Rough.....smooth?

Now. I’m not an interior decorator, keep that in mind.

But i’m building it out of knotty alder wood. Sanded. Stained the same as the island and the hearth face i did

I just need my back to cooperate so I can get back to work on it. The middle of my back hasn't hurt in a long time. I might need to find a young oriental woman to walk on it for me, no happy ending though.

Do what you gotta do bud

@DarkWeb
Maybe stain it a lighter gray? Instead of that darker custom gray blend? You’re making me second guess myself bro.

Woah!
Maybe a stone shelf like mantel? But then i’d need some kind of corbels to hold that fucker up.

No why? If you want lighter go with the rock.....but both would be nice. I like the shelves but a darker mantel would be great contrast. I'm definitely not an interior designer....my imagination went at puberty......it's all T&A now

When i do work for people and they ask me what do you think about colors or whatever i say nope. I don’t do that.

I think we are doing a fairly dark green for the kitchen walls with the gray cabinets.

I said.....I don't know what I'm doing. But if it sounds good you're welcome

Hey shoot me a pic of those cabs when you get a chance. Still gonna stop by sometime soon though

I’m just gonna stick with my original plan but i’m the type of person who will second guess my choice forever.

I'll clamp on the filler strip to the first one to show you what my plan is. I think it will look fine. I can see there is a low spot on the ceiling before the second cabinet that will be compensated for.

It's gonna look great any way. I always have a few different ways to do something......and always wonder if it could be different and if I would like it better.

I don’t know if I have shared with y’all about my hearth, mantel and stove story. But I poached the stone from below a damn where they excavated for the spillway.
I put this thing in the corner and built two arches between two columns and then put lights and water emitters behind the arches.
Made the mantle with 4” angle iron and made hooks from concrete wall ties . The lights wash down behind the mantle and so does the water ( when I use the water feature ) . By using shower liner and wire mesh, just like an old school shower bed it’s both water proof and fire proof. I only heat with wood now, saving an estimated 4000.00$ + per year.
It’s all real stone and none of it was flat, I used a demo saw to make a flat surface on the back side and kept the front natural . It only took 4 months lol.

Pics of the water?

Nah, I’d have to refresh the reservoir. Ya have to keep it sterile or it gets funky. But I could take a spray bottle to it for dramatic effects.
