At that time I had just started a blog and also just had a baby-so I had very little time to devote to the blog but I have decided to give it another try. Just wanted to stop in and say thanks.

I live in South Louisiana so it is never cold enough to actually use the fireplace in our house. I've been putting toys in it, but I like the idea of books too.

It's the center of the living room, so we just mounted our tv into the wall and my husband built a large TV frame. <br /><br />I can't wait to see what you come up with!

And then paint the wall inbetween the same color as a manel.
