Hello all, Sorry it has been awhile. Are you glad Fall is finally here! I am happy, but done with the rain, mist and overcast skies. But being stuck in the house, not really stuck just don't want to go out in the rain, I start to think about certain projects that have been rattling around my brain! Ever have any of those?
When we redid our house 2 years ago we didn't touch the family room cause it had been painted and crown added a few years before. But now after seeing so many cool ideas in blog land I have a few thoughts on what I want to do.
Here is the fireplace, dirty red brick and the old builders oak mantle.
I need to clean the brick, paint the inside black and really want to 'chunk' up the mantle and stain a little darker. Since it is off center with the window, hard to really do anything else! We really don't use it, but I would really love to get some of that cool fire ice, then I would use it! Now just have to decide if I should reface the brick or paint it!
Here is the wall behind the couch. Yes I am making it real, blankets and all.
Sorry used the flash for this one, this room gets dark. I really want to do a board and batten treatment here, it would lighten up the room, and really should be that hard from what I have read. Have you seen the cool wall treatment
Miss Mustard Seed used in her guest room! That would be cool as well. I love her stuff. And you must see Jan's wall that she did like Layla at Lettered Cottage, Amazing! Check it our here
Grams!
So what do you think! I really don't think either project would take that long. And I am home all day, well most of the time. We are hosting Thanksgiving here this year, so that is my motivation.
Have a good day!
Toodles,
Laura
