Fireplace Makeover

Hello everyone!

It has been a glorious week here in GA!  The weather is beyond gorgeous and our schedule is light since there is no school.  So, with the relaxed atmosphere, why not throw in some spontaneous projects around the house right?  Isn't that what everyone does when they don't have too much on the calendar?  I decided to repaint my fireplace mantel so it would stand out more from the wall and accent the stone nicely.

So, here is the before:

And here is the after:

Now, I didn't hate the white mantel by any means.  It was classic and accented the stone nicely and matched the room perfectly.  I was just ready for a change.  I wanted to warm up the mantel a bit more to make it more of a focal point than it was.  

And I also painted the frame around the mirror above the mantel.  Felt like they should match.

I used the same paint color that I've used practically everywhere.

It is obviously my "got to" grey color!  I like how it contrasts against all the white I have everywhere.

Have you done any spontaneous house projects lately?

Thanks for stopping by.
