good news: our contractor gave us a thumbs up on our refinishing job. today, mantel #1 was moved back inside.
one more time - here's a before shot:
ta-dah! here it is sans paint.
all in all, it took about nine hours of us figuring out what the hell we were doing to actual grunt work, but it was worth it. it looks so much better without its paint job. removing all that white paint returns this mantel to being the highlight of this room.
this weekend, we tackle the more ornate mantel #2. wish us luck.
