i think something's in the water...

It seems like in the last couple of weeks I've been re-doing a lot of fireplaces. Is it my true calling {giggle} in life? No... But, I do enjoy it & love seeing the transformation it does to an entire room {home actually}. HUGE transformation!

Well... The living rooms fireplace is coming along beautifully! Remember this post {here}... It was awful before & now it's looking so good... I can't wait till it's grouted & painted. Just wait for that picture... OH LA LA

A new fireplace!!! lol I've been doing tons of other things {new paint color in the entire house, new carpet, new furnishings} to their home... & then they asked me. We would really would like to re-do our fireplace. It bothers us sooooooooooo much. Why yes I can... It's my calling in life!!! This one is pretty bad too! Just wait my blogging friends... Just wait!!!

Out with Old in with the New

When My husband and I bought our home I had a "huge" issue with our fireplace. It was off center, flat and dirty looking. Of course, I wanted to paint it right away and he looked at me like I had just killed his whole family . . . All he said to me is, "You can't paint brick." Well, our second child was on the way and I cringed every time I looked at the fireplace. Nothing made it pretty and I really mean nothing! Not even flowers or a huge picture (trying to cover the ugly thing up). Nothing! Every time someone would come over I would always make an excuse for it. After the 100th excuse I was done. Plus, my hormones from my pregnancy were kicking in and I put my foot down and said were painting it and adding a mantel. This is the ugliest fireplace I have ever seen and it embarrasses me. He didn't a make a face or even a comment. Thank goodness, Few!
