Fireplace B & A

The transformation of my family room from brown to white happened sort of by accident.  I have always wanted to paint this room.  The problem was that I knew it was not going to be easy or quick. Therefore I just put in on the back burner.  For years.  Several months ago my husband, out of the blue, mentioned that he would like to get it painted.  I quickly clarified the part about "get it painted."  Did he mean hire someone? The answer was "Yes.  Call a painter."  I didn't need to be told twice.  The next day I was on the phone with a painter and off we went.  So here is the only before picture I have...actually my painter took it.

I give you the Before...
Red brick.
Brass fireplace doors.
Cord cover visible.
Not good.

And the After...white brick.
Black fireplace doors.
And the cord covers just go away.
Much better.
More of the family room reveal later.
The next part of this post is dedicated to the sticks in my urns.
Thank you to Kara at Tizzi Lish for the great idea.




They almost look real don't you think?
Cost of my twigs?  $0.00.  
I got the twigs in my back yard and the blossoms are cut from some silk flowers I already had.
