I’m so glad you stopped by, I’m so excited to show you my newly painted fireplace! What a difference it made, it’s so amazing what paint can do isn’t it? I still can’t believe it’s the same fireplace, I smile every time I look at it! Stush did it for me, I didn’t even have to hold a paintbrush, I did though take the vacuum sweeper attachment to the brick before he primed it and I decorated it which is the fun part right?
Everything shows up so well on the mantel too, the etc sign is the one from the Salvation Army store for $1.49, I took the hooks off that were across the bottom and painted it black. The two books it’s sitting on I covered in drop cloth scraps, the urn on the right I found at one of the yardsales last weekend for $2.00, yardsales are the best for picking up items for the home I think!
I never took a picture of my fireplace unless I had to, but I found this one from last fall, you can see how dark brown the brick was! Now it is white as can be!
This will be my last post until after June 2nd, I’ll be gone a week to this place…..

I think it looks gorgeous! I painted ours and it does make such a difference in my space.
Your fireplace and mantle look very much like mine. About 4 years ago, I read on HGTV'S message board about 2 ladies who painted theirs. They posted before and after photos and it gave me the courage to go for it. Glad you took the jump...I doubt you will ever regret it. I love how it looks. Helen (I blogged about it last year.)
Rondell, I love the white! It looks fantastic! Enjoy your trip. School is out (finally) and we are at the lake for the long weekend.

I ADORE painted brick anything! The only time I had a home built, we chose the ugly brick on sale for the exterior(no one else wanted it) because we knew we were going to paint it right off the bat. Your fireplace looks amazing...so much lighter and brighter! Hope you had a good time in Mexico.
Thanks for linking up to our All Star Block Party. I've been trying to get my mom to paint her fireplace white for years. I've got to show her your pictures. Your fireplace looks sooo good! Thanks for sharing :)
