Playing With Fire...

We have fire...but it is going to be re done.  This is a log system that I got from Sue.  I like the idea, but the fire, being made of clear caulking, was made by laying it on a flat surface and is not terribly realistic...

I am going to borrow the idea, but I am going to try to build it up in 3D. 

I have a plentiful supply of logs in the back yard.  Now all I have to do is make it happen.

 The last of the old lights died this morning.  I went and scrounged through my materials and found this one.  It is a blown glass globe that somebody gave me....Sorry. I can't remember who it was.

I turned it into a light by simply pushing a light inside, checking it and then sealing the top. 

I will probably put a collar around the cord with a jewelry finding of some kind.

Then there is Tessie.  As soon as I taped it to the ceiling to see how it would look, she was on it like a flash.  "It's way too low!  Zar or I will bump our stomachs on it.  That's low!"

I very patiently explained that I was trying it out for size and style.  It will be higher when I'm finished.

She reluctantly backed off and agreed to wait until I fixed it.

I did get the repainting the plaster done.  The front looks kind of funny because the paint has not dried yet.

Now, about all I have to do before starting to furnish is the step in the pit and the back of the fireplace.  Oh! and the fence behind the chimney. 

Then the real fun begins!  Book shelves and desk next.

See you tomorrow.
