fireplace makeover

idea for painted fireplace

i saw this on pinterest and thought "wow! i've never thought about painting brick before."  and i was not the biggest fan of our pinkish brick fireplace.

pinkish

so i asked justin what he thought about painting our fireplace a dark color.  at first he thought it sounded like a terrible idea.  then i showed him the one one pinterest.  next thing i know, he's finished painting our fireplace while i'm gone to korea!  i LOVE it!  he says it's very beetlejuice-ish but he loves it too.  now i've just got to get that mantle under control...

primed

awesome!

and for the record, this is not the first nor will it be the last project that he has initially nay-sayed until i showed him the true awesomeness of the idea.  by the way, i haven't forgotten that i still owe you guys a reveal of that yellow paintbrush sneak peek either.  it's coming, i promise!
