I've been wanting to paint our fireplace wall since we moved in three years ago...but somehow after painting our bedroom, Gracie's room, the basement, the laundry room, and the bathroom, I lost steam. One Friday this month, my friend Patricia helped move the wall to the top of the priority list.
I could not have done this without this lady's energy! She had the wall taped up before I could clean out the van from errand-running! (and notice the icky gold fireplace...watch what happens...)
The kids were amazing while we painted. Movies and playing in the basement for a couple of hours...
...and a few reward tattoos!
Wha-la! Doesn't it look great? Jeff was AMAZING and took apart the brass on the fireplace and painted it black for me at the farm over Veteran's Day weekend.
Now I'm looking for a big mirror to go over the mantle... LOVE IT!!!

WOW!!! Looks FABULOUS!!!! Hank is the painter in our house, bless his heart! ;-)
Nice DYI project! There is a lot of brass out there that needs a little facelift ;) Very nice.
Enjoying your snow pix too! We had a dusting last night but we could still see the grass... Didn't bother the older 2 - they were OUT!
