We are in the library. We did not do a tremendous amount of work in this room because, as you can see, it has fantastic bones. One of the things we did in this house is we refurbished every single fireplace—I believe there are ten of them. And they got new slab surrounds and new gas log inserts, new liners, because none of it was functional or could be used. So, it was a really important upgrade, and it’s a wonderful thing to have in a house of this age—to have that many fireplaces.
