Kitchen
Any Ideas on how to make the fireplace appear smaller or blend in as a nice focal point?
We just bought an older home and are working on a tight budget. The kitchens fireplace is the first thing you notice upon entering the room. We have toned down the dark red & cleaned up the fireplace by removing the old doors & mirror.
The fireplace sits right at the kitchen and is large. I have started to tile but stopped, concerned that it may clash with the floor if brought to the bottom.

Before (red paint felt very congesting-making the home feel older and dirty)
After (we live in Florida, so I chose a happy color to help brighten the room & tiled the top portion of the fireplace) ..we have plans to continue renovating, but our immediate concern is the large "hole" in the room :)

Bananas!on Jul 31, 2015How about enclosing the tops of your cabinets? not expensive and will give the kitchen a more built in/custom look? Also, just get rid of the hearth box, unless you plan to use it, you'll be tripping over it! I was considering putting one in, but now I see this, I'm not going there! THANKS
