Guess what....
I finished the fireplace:)
I won't lie...it was very tedious painting. Not enjoyable...so after I finished for the day I thought I should treat myself to a little vino:)
If you haven't tried Murphy Goode wines ...you should! both the cabernet and merlot are fabulous!
I woke up early this morning and painted two more coats. I can't even tell you just how much I LOVE it! I still have to hang the picture above the fireplace and update the accessories in the bookcases but it already looks sooooooo much better!
Do you agree!!?!
Oh and here is what I started working on after I finished painting....
Remember the twine wrapped letter?!?!
Well I thought it would also work on a wine bottle....you know I have a ton of those:)
So easy....wrap a wine bottle tightly with twine and hot glue as you go!
It's where I am headed with the accessories for the bookcases....natural and sort of bordering on beachy! Lots of natural elements and creams!
Love it...just love it!
It doesn't always take a lot to update a space....just a little creative ingenuity:)
You just have to let the ideas flow~
Hope your first day of spring is fablous!
By Monday I will try have everything finished and ready to share with you!

Ps. I have an ongoing jewelry contest on my blog. Welcome! Ds
It looks so great!! And only you would start on another project after a tedious fireplace-painting extravaganza :-)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it! What a huge difference! My husband seems to be anti "painting anything white." We will see who wins that battle though ; ) Can't wait to see everything together!
ReplyDeleteOh.....it looks super!!! Good Job!
ReplyDeletewhy was the painting tough work? did it not want to adhere? just hard to get in all the nooks and crannies?
still think ya need to cover the backs of just a few shelves with something light....jmo!
will be waiting for finale!!
ooooh I love! So YOU! It is hard...but it looks fabtastic!
ReplyDeleteMurphy Goode, eh?
hello Everyone!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the fireplace:)
JMAC...it wasn't really hard...it was just a pain getting the paint into all the cracks and crevices!! And it took 4 coats altogether!

Take care and have a great Sunday!
