In all of my reminiscing of how our house has progressed in the last four years, I forgot to mention one project that made a huge difference. The fireplace.
It's hard to isolate the fireplace in this transformation (there walls also went from turquoise to neutral:)....but here is the fireplace before.
...and after.
It was actually a pretty easy process. One I later repeated on the
brick outside our house. I first painted the trim white. Which helped, but the brick surround of the fireplace was still too orange. So we knocked out the hearth tile (came out with a hammer like a piece of cake), installed new tile (no tile cutter even needed since they came on those easy to install sheets), and white-washed the brick.
A close up look....
So to summarize....before...
....after move in....
...today!
