After finding out how much it would cost to have a new hearth laid and the fireplace in the new kitchen spiffed up, my brilliant Sean started reading on masonry.He tore out the old crumbled hearth, put new supports in the basement below and began mixing cement.
The concrete dried overnight. Using bricks we had selvedged from the fireplace, Sean has begun laying them out and cutting them to fit the new hearth. It is slow work but looks fabulous. I can't wait to see the finished hearth!
In other news, here are some of the lights we've put in the new kitchen. Those beams will be stained and polished. A local home store is going out of business and we snagged a beautiful iron chandelier for above the island. Can't wait!

How lovely! And what a blessing to have a creative and "knacky" husband. Your new kitchen is going to look fabulous!
Yours in Christ,
