Hi! Do you like white washed brick? I was watching a show today and they painted a brick fireplace a deep blue. It was absolutely gorgeous. Any color would work, really. Good luck and stay safe!
This is what am working with. Am currently home for a long time so I figured I can stay busy and clear my head from this pandemic. Can u stay budget friendly.
