A Fireplace Fairytale

From my Valentine with Love...

Once Upon a Time there was a girl that loved forest green, she wore forest green, drove a forest green car, had forest green bridesmaids dresses and even chose forest green marble tile for her fireplace not once, but twice when she built homes.


Then this girl grew older and went through many holidays with the forest green marble tile, although she had long grown weary of the color....

She tried to make it better with new candlesticks and pretty stockings


She tried a new art piece above the fireplace...

but nothing could solve the fact that she didn't like the forest green.

Then one day her beloved knight in shining armor told her he would grant her wish of ridding her home of the forest green tile...as his Valentine's day gift.
and so the search for new stone began...


And so....the tile was ripped out. The art piece returned...


two men labored for two days working to make her dream come true...



New stone was installed....

And there was a sweet, little baby who helped clean up the messes...





And a new canvas portrait taken and ordered from Canvas on Demand arrived the day the fireplace was completed...






 And her fireplace lived happily ever after....
