We finally finished the uncovering and rehabilitation of this fireplace. It took almost a complete year of extremely intermittent work. Very pleased with how it turned out.
Before: The previous homeowners had covered up the fireplace for a more modern look. I rather impulsively decided to take down the covering box thinking this would be a relatively simple project...
After: 11 months later we finally have a beautiful finished result. It is very close the the original but still has a lot of lived 'character' marks.
