there was going to be a minor reveal of my den here ...

... but i decided against it. last week i had taken some before and after pictures of my fireplace when i primered and thought i would post them, but the painting i am doing tonight is on aforementioned fire recepticle and i think i will just wait ... the den will be the next room that is finished (i put some artwork on the walls tonight) and i will post complete pics here. the flooring has been done for months and the walls have been painted for a while, too, but when you're a crew of one these things take time, i guess, no matter how hard you try. i really just have the lighting (which i have really good ideas for) and some trim painting to finish ... oh, and hardware changes, but that is everywhere.
