Much better, Mandy! I would hesitate to put white paint on the bricks if you are leaving your walls white too; it will make the fireplace disappear. What about a fun color? A friend of mine once painted her fireplace plum and I was terrified until I saw it all done. It was beautiful and just what she needed to complete her room.
Thanks Renee - that is a good tip! I'm pretty sure we are going to paint it white, but no clue yet on the wall color. Every surface in that room is going to be painted by the time we are done. :)
Looks so much more cheerful! Love it. Following your blog now.I would love for you to show this off at my Wickedly Crafty Saturdays! http://wiccanmakesometoo.blogspot.com/2011/07/wickedly-crafty-saturdays.html

ReplyDeleteThanks Melissa! We're actually planning on painting the walls...they were white when we moved in. Just can't figure out what color. :)
ReplyDeleteI would paint the walls before you paint the fire place. Depending on what you go with on the walls, you may want to leave the brick exposed.

ReplyDeleteLove the white mantle! I would paint the walls before the fireplace just because the walls are easier to change your mind about.
