Painting Tile....
Good morning my friends, I hope you had a good 4th of July weekend. Yesterday I started working on my fireplace. It needed a little TLC ... I have trouble taking before and after pictures of what I do, You see I get this idea going in my head and I run with it... and I can't stop. Then after I get almost done I think crap I should have taken before shots. I get so rapped up in it that I forget that maybe you all would like to see step by step on what I do... I promise I will get better at this... In the mean time this is what I have... This is a picture of the fireplace before
After I painted the living room the tile didn't seem right, It had a pink hue (not good) it my opinion So I desisted to paint the tile white. Then thought, I should think about changing the outside doors ...Well let me just tell you I was shocked on how much it would cost, Only starts at $600.00 and up (not in my budget) so went back to Lowe's got some heat resistant paint and got to work.... the is what I came up with so far.
Now I have to spray paint the pieces to the door and put it back together again.
Now all I need to do is come up with new ideas for the mantel...
Hugs

Hi Pattie - I love your living room! Looks so comfy and inviting and love the whiteness of it all! You and I are the same, I always forget to take photos of before, and by the time I remember, project's already done. Oh well...it's the after that counts anyway.

So pretty! The pure white looks so much better than the pinkish hue. It's so nice when a small change can make such an impact. Look forward to seeing it all fluffed up and decorated.

Ah-ha! There are those bamboo shades :) They look great Pattie and so does the rest of your living room. I hope you had a wonderful holiday.
Your entire blog is yummy, but his post specially inspires me! I need to do this on my own fireplace. Thanks for the idea.
P.S. I did it! I painted my mantle white and just love it. Why did I wait so long? Thanks again for the inspiration. And now I will go back into your archives and see what other ideas I might find.....
