Here is what we are working with….rectangular room-other end opens to kitchen….
To Do:
1. Paint brick all white.
2. Get rid of gold surround.
3. Move electronics on right-out of sight and hide wires in new mantel.
4. Change green couch to white-going to Pottery Barn Outlet for that project—keep fingers crossed for me!
5. Take down pictures above couch and put up Pottery Barn oars purchased on sale.
6. Take down small shelves on left wall—put up one BIG FIND…might have a little something in mind ;)
7. Any suggestions?
Here are my inspiration photos…
See how having every wall the same color makes this room seem bigger and more cohesive. My gold fire surround must go —and we have SCORED some great wood beams from a late 1800’s barn to use as our new mantel. But first the paint……Before and after—from http://www.younghouselove.com
Having the brick all one color is a good start….here is one of my other favorite fireplace makeovers…
