fireplaces

We went to a fireplace store recently to check out getting our old fireplace replaced. This is the fireplace upstairs...

It all started when we wanted to get new flooring. I realized that the fireplace hearth was cemented over top of the carpet!?! So, we need to think about redoing the hearth, and therefore we might as well replace the fireplace insert too.
So far, we have the quote for the fireplace, and now we are just waiting for the stone guys to give us their information.
When we went to the store, we had our niece with us for the day. So her and I had fun checking out all the stones at the back lot of the store. Especially the ones that were called "Smarties" :-)
