Rewind

This week's decision topic: where oh where should the TV go? We were going to leave some space between the mantle and TV, but that resulted in the TV centerline located at 74" high. The contractor reviewed it with me again today. "Too high!" he said, while motioning to a sore neck, right before heading home for the day.

R and I revisited it again tonight (we've only gone over it, oh, about a dozen times), and with help from dear designer friend H in LJ, determined that the contractor was right.

The mortar was still soft... So we yanked two chunks of stone right off the face of the fireplace to make room for a lower TV mount.

What will we do for fun when this project is over?
