Mantle/Fireplace Reveal. . .

Here is what my fireplace and mantle looked like before:

And, here is the gorgeous after:

This was exactly how I pictured it would turn out.

Funny thing, though, now I need new blinds,

need to rip out the carpet and I would

love to put in wide plank rustic wood

flooring, I need a couple of topiaries on either

side of the mantle, plus some more

awesome accessories to go along with

the new look, a couple of accent pillows  

made from vintage fabric to go in

my new-to-me chairs, and I 

could go on, and on, and on. . . but I won't

because you get me.

Don't forget my contest.  When I get 100+ followers,

I am giving away some amazing paint from

the Caromal Colours textured basecoat collection.
