BEFORE
AFTER
Mom had given Walt this clock and he wanted it on his fireplace. So, I used it as the focal which
was my starting point.
Notice the wall plug and a TV plug in the before picture. I couldn't believe the contractor
put it so high and totally in the way of any decorating. So, I had to hide it. I wanted to
use some small lamps but the cords stuck out and looked horrible. I changed things about
3 times because of the plugs. A very simple and uncluttered look which suits my brother!

I am totally convinced this contractor hasn't a clue when it comes to hiring his electrician! WHO EVER HEARD OF PUTTING SWITCHES AND OUTLETS ANYWHERE BUT BESIDE A DOOR FRAME OR ALONG THE BOTTOM OF A WALL???? You, however, did a great job of hiding the mistake with that great framed piece of artwork. Way to go Joan!

It does seem like a odd place but with the new flat screens many people are putting them over the fireplace.
I would not do it but contractor or electrician must like watching the games in the livingroom with feet up and greasy finger prints on the best furniture in the house. Their wives have given in to them. HE HE!
Joan you always find an answer.
