This week our remodel of the basement continued with installation of a gas insert in the fireplace there. We went with a quarter-sawn Red Oak mantle to match our kitchen cabinets and wood floors throughout the house.
The contractor showed up at 8am
We never did anything with our basement fireplace in the 20+ years we've lived here. We put drywall in the basement in 2003, but have used the basement mostly for storage that whole time. The flooring still needs to be replaced (most likely with porcelain tile).
Here's an example of what our kitchen cabinets look like (to give an idea of the color/shade):

The contractor gave us left over stain that they used. I'm putting it in here in case I ever need to add something in Red Oak and I want to match it. The second photo has the color codes used.
