  2. 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!

  10. 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.

  11. 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!
