Dear Blog Readers, Followers, and Anonymous "Creepers":
I need your help. I mentioned in this post that I was considering doing a fireplace makeover. Specifically, I'm considering painting the wall white. A reader suggested that I build an actual mantel like this one to keep the integrity of the brick:
I absolutely love this idea, and my handy father-in-law has agreed to help, BUT I still have an itch to paint the brick, so that's where you come in.
Here's our fireplace in it's current state:
And here are some of the images that make me want to get out my paintbrush:

Also, if I do paint the wall white, I'm considering painting the mantel black (but that's a whole other poll, I suppose).

So, what do you think? Should I paint or not??!! Please leave a comment, and let me know your opinion!
Thanks!!
XOXO,

I think you are very busy!!!!!! Debbie loved your NYE tables with the clocks!
ReplyDeleteI really like the white wall idea. I would add the wood framing to the fireplace to break up all the brick of that wall and paint it black.
ReplyDeleteI love the white - but hearth could be hard to keep clean, if that matters.
ReplyDeleteI love the black - because I do.
Could use combo of two easily. Great wall to work with and how great to have a f-in-l to help!
