Fireplace wall and painting the oak

 We've been doing a lot of remodeling

and fixing up this 30 year old home we bought last summer,

and there's so much to share here on my blog and I'm so behind!

So I'll just jump in with sharing our fireplace wall.

My husband designed a new mantle, including corbels,

spray painted the brass black,

and I painted the oak built-ins and fireplace.

Here's the 'before'

And here's the finished wall.  Oh, and I painted the entire room.

The final thing to accomplish in this room is new flooring.

A beautiful tile in grays in the area for going in and out

and probably carpet for the rest, also in gray.

I'll be sharing more often now.

Really.

...I know I said that before...

DREAM in gray and white

Gray and White

(and one of my recent horse paintings)

Serene        Peaceful        Dreamy

I've been redesigning our guest room decor,

and brought in some gray to the white room

with just a touch of gold

~ a place to dream ~

Although I am a lover of color,

sometimes a quiet palette

is just what is

needed
