As I settle more into the new(er) home, slowly changes are happening. For the last 3 and a half weeks we have been working daily (many hours a day) at purging and organizing. I actually enjoy this kind of task but it is challenging with my mobility issues. Hubs helps with what he can, but he works over 40 hours a week.  One task that has been on my To Do list for 2 years, actually probably decades, was to give the basement fireplace a facelift. It is in my studio and is a prominent architectural feature in the room.  Here is a bit of history on the fireplace. My parents had a Webber round black grill they got as a wedding present. My dad would remove the legs on it and put it in the fireplace in the winter and we would grill on Saturday nights.  When I moved home briefly in 1992 before I purchased my first house, my dad spent most of the fall and winter in Florida. I took over the basement space as an art studio, as I was working full time and in college taking design
