Chalk Painted Fireplace Mantel

Giving your fireplace mantel a new look with paint!! Oh the power of paint!! I love that it's really that easy- I think picking the new colors can be more work that just jumping in and deciding to do it. I painted this back in September but I finally made the time to share with you how I did and what colors I used to bring together all the elements in my own home and design. You can see more here.. http://www.vintagecharmrestored.com/2014/01/chalk-paint-fireplace-mantel.html
Layering paint colors on top of your builder grade white mantel can give it brand new upscale look.
Enjoyed the project?

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
We first painted our oak mantle & surround black, then distressed it, but felt it was too hard, so now we primed it & painted it off white like our woodwork. Still not quite right......any suggestions based on how you layered your fireplace surround?
