Fireplace improvement

CheriALL THINGS HOME, DECORATING, GENERAL

Instant Messaging (yes, we still do that) with Mr. D last week went like this….

Me:  Can I paint the fireplace?
Him:  Go for it.
Me:   Seriously?  That was waaaaay to easy.
Him:  Yes.

If you’ve followed this blog for even a brief amount of time, you know I embrace change, DIY projects and paint like good friends.  Painting the bay window/window seat served as a jumping off point to even more projects at The Cottage!  

As a Mother’s Day gift to myself, I painted the fireplace!

Nate pitched in and helped, and we were done in less than 2 hours.

The bright and light factor in that corner was multiplied
and enhanced beyond my expectations

Everything I put on the mantle looked good
and showed up so nicely instead of fading into the woodwork

The original brick faded into the pine walls, and had a pink/rose color tint that fought with the orange/yellowish color of the walls.  The white brick pops on the wood walls and the fireplace is now a beautiful focal point in the room!

I am in love with the new brighter look!
What do you think?

                                     

Be daring!
