Finally: The Fireplace!

Tuesday, January 18, 2011

It has been almost 2 weeks since we started working on the fireplace. Just when I thought I couldn't take any more dust, tarps, constant sanding, and paint....we finished! We started out with this:

 Then went to this when we redid the floors:


Two weeks ago it looked like this:


To this:


 And FINALLY, to this!!





 LOVE it!


 It's not as glossy in real life, promise!

Now we just need to add decorations (and mop the floor haha!)!

P.P.S. Go look at The Shabby Nest for more renovations :).

    I found you on Shabby Nest.

    That looks so great! We have an old brick fireplace and are trying to decide if we like the rustic feel or if we're going to attempt to lighten it up with paint. I wish we could do something like this!

    I came across your blog. I LOVE the fireplace and the headboard.
    I have added a headboard to my to-do list. That list is getting way too long.

    Beautiful! And congrats on finishing in two weeks. We did a similar fireplace redo, and it definitely dragged out a *little* longer. You can see the final results here.

    Love your blog!
