As I mentioned here, a couple of weeks ago, on a whim, I decided to paint my fireplace white. It was so last minute and I was so antsy that I forgot to take a good before picture, but here is one that gives you the main idea.

Too dark and way too rustic for my taste! It really didn’t go with anything in my house… I plan on laying out all of the “how to” details soon, but for now I just want to show off the finished product. 🙂 Here it is, in all its glory!

It’s no longer the “elephant in the house.” I seriously love it so much! I’m not a huge fan of a TV over a fireplace, but I don’t even mind that as much after painting the fireplace! The living room isn’t done (what room ever is?), but this gives you the big picture for now view. 

I feel like every view of my living room is so much more me now!

Just a few more because I love it so much…

What do you think of the transformation? Are you a fan of a painted fireplace?
