i love my kitchen, plenty of storage

the house feels spacious with all the glass and the high ceiling even though it is a small house

I am making a metal piece to surround the fireplace, here is a cardboard template

I'm working with Blacksmith Doug Wilson who lives here on the island

Doug in his shop

working the metal, a rusted sheet of thin steel from an old oil furnace

Doug showed me how to pound out the bumps and wrinkles

I sawed strips to be riveted together, the reverse side is pale blue with lots of rust. it will have a folded edge
