The Painted Fireplace

Need a quick, easy and inexpensive makeover in your family room? So did this family of six that I recently worked with on a family room remodel. With only a few hundred dollars to work with, and no real carpentry skill set to speak of, the owners were looking to freshen up their dull and not-so-inviting family room space. So, I turned to paint and decor to give this room a fresh new look and feel...check it out!
AFTER: Family Room with newly painted fireplace, rearranged furniture and new accessories and decor.
BEFORE: Dark, dull and lack luster...not the ideal space for entertaining
BEFORE
AFTER: The inside of the fireplace was painted with a black, fire retardant paint, and the brick surround was painted a stark white after being primed.
