And that hearth is stunning. I've never seen a raised hearth with wood molding like this. The blue delft tile is a beautiful match.

We redid ours a couple of years ago and I just can't make myself put a nail in it, either. Thanks for the stocking hanger tip. So far I've kept my mantel decorations fairly simple so the design of the fireplace will show. Yours is wonderful and I totally understand how happy you are when you look at it. That's the way we feel.<BR/>~Adrienne~Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401476871614514660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59504869006627653.post-47043566275157357752008-12-12T09:43:00.000-05:002008-12-12T09:43:00.000-05:00Hi DonnaYour white fireplace is stunning!
