I have spent this week on “vacation.” This has actually meant meeting a lot of contractors to spend much money on my home. Below is my hatchet job of a MS Paint mockup of what it will look like after. The stone will look much more amazing, and I should really paste in some more complete walls.

Unfortunately, I expected budget creep of 30-50%, but it is now at 100%. As a result, we will likely get an expert to put a stone facade on the fireplace wall, and electrician to wire up for a TV mount, power and conduit, get a sweet white oak floating mantel courtesy of a co-worker’s side job/hobby, and get nice laminate flooring installed in almost the entire house. But all the green wall was to turn a trendy grey-white (and throughout the house), but that will have to wait, to get back to merely 80% over budget. Whew. We have no agreed to no interesting travel vacations in 2017 to help make even this possible.

Here is a before picture.

I thought you were going for the Doom Nukem look

TVs wall mounted high are the worst. :-(

The full wall covering will look nice!

That’s not Duke Nukem. There are no strippers.

This is what I’m most concerned about, but we’ve had it on the mantel recently and it is okay. Considered a mount that takes it out and lowers it, but don’t imagine doing that daily or wanting to leave it down.
