One-upped by the contractor!

Well, I think this may be a first! As we all know, Chip is famous for putting every square inch of a space to good use. This time, Bill of William Stone Contracting may have trumped us.

As is often the case of the really good builders, they love woodworking, and "messing" with things. In this first photo, you see Bill standing in front of the handsome, newly-tiled fireplace and hearth. I especially like the way the thick wood mantel, which matches the wood floor stain, sits on top of the hefty bull-nose tiles. (This picture was taken before the tile was grouted.)

When I walked back into the room after taking other pictures, these Jewel-box like doors had been opened to reveal all this "secret" CD-DVD storage!

Well done Bill! But, would you expect anything less from a guy who wears such cool shoes? Hey, are those a size 7-1/2 by any chance?
