Feature Friday: Brittany’s Fireplace Makeover

Today, I’d like to introduce you to a brand new blogger, Brittany with Dearest Home.  She emailed me with her latest project, a fireplace makeover and it is absolutely fabulous, so I asked to share it with all of you.

Don’t we all LOVE a good Before and After?  Yes, we do!!

Brittany’s original fireplace was pretty, but a little plain and blah, so she and her hubby worked on it to up the fabulous factor to make it stand out and say WOW.  And WOW it is, with the addition of molding for a board and batten look and a snazzy black mantel piece, this fireplace demands attention.

Molding:  check

Black mantel: check

White paint: check

A recipe for a wonderful transformation.  Thanks, Brittany, for letting me share your gorgeous new fireplace.  Go over and say hello to Brittany, won’t you?  For more details on this project, you can click the link above.

Do YOU have a fireplace that needs a facelift?  How about this for some thought?

    Hi Rhoda,
    I have a fireplace that needs a makeover, and just yesterday I was thinking about what to do with it. Paint it perhaps until I can get a complete makeover done. Mine is the old-fashioned red brick with dark grout. I would really like to have it refaced with river rock, my son is a stone mason, so he could do that for me. But, I need to save the money for that still. But in the meantime, I was thinking perhaps I could paint it white and frame in the area above it like this one, only fill it in with beadboard left over from the kitchen reno.
    Thanks for the inspiration.
    Hugs, Cindy

    Brittany’s fireplace looks beautiful! The black and white is very striking. It was pretty before but much more of a Wow factor now! I’m going to pop over to her blog.

    Love it. The minute I saw the before picture the first thought in my head was that wedding picture needs to come down and lean against the wall…great minds think alike!

    The timing could not possibly be better! I had a decorator come to my house just yesterday to help me figure out what to do with our living room, including the fireplace. I’m so not in love with the mantel, but she assured me that taking out the white tiles and putting in slate or granite would make the biggest difference. Thanks for the inspiration!
