Three years ago when we were looking at this house I liked that it had a fireplace..but I didn't really care for the look of the fireplace.
As soon as we moved in I hung a mirror above it and painted the mantle and I liked it a lot better!
But I still didn't like the separation between the mantle and the tile.
I made a skirt for the mantle and once again was much happier with the look.
I am pleased now. I think the fireplace is looking much better now!
Now it is a pretty place to hang the stockings!
The fireplace isn't the only thing that has changed a lot since we moved here...
I am happy because I think this is a great house to grow up in and I hope my kids will have many happy memories of their teenage years in this home.
I am busy getting everything ready for thanksgiving dinner...sending wishes that everyone has a wonderful thanksgiving!
Thanks for visiting!

Still not perfect, I decided to paint the tiles white. I always think most everything in my house look prettier white.

You turned your fireplace into white just in time for the winter! Hahaha! You did some nice adjustments, but don't you think you should add some decorations of other colors? I like it but it looks plain. Plus, if you use the fireplace, it will get dark from the coals and the soot, so keeping it white could be a hassle.
