Family Fireplace

The fireplace.
The fireplace where the fire burns softly while the snow flakes are glistening outside.
The fireplace where you curl up with a hot coco and read yet another Karen Kingsbury, or the latest fashion magazine.
Is no more...or should I say.
A NEVER WAS.
Our home is OLD..
and we have 2 living rooms..HUGE rooms, I might add
Side by side.
One has
hardwood floors,
cathedral ceiling and windows that are from floor to ceiling! literally.
I don't like it!and don't look to close cause they aren't clean
The other room is our FAMILY room.
low ceilings
carpet
cozy
PERFECT!
BUT
Both of our living rooms have fireplaces that we have NEVER USED!
They are ugly and dirty!!!

Family Room

Its an eye sorer.

Then our 'other' room
even worse!!

So I went to work!..
yes it was dirty work,
 and thank you MOM for swinging by to clean up the after mess!


Then I brought out my Barbecue black paint from the Ace Hardware and went to work.





Then the Fun begins!

Our new living room fireplace!
PERFECT FAMILY FIREPLACE
GAME NIGHT ANYONE?

The 'OTHER' Room fireplace

I think for the first time I can say..
WHY - yes we are using our fireplace!!


I love it!


I hope to inspire you to
take the ordinary and make it extraordinary!!

Thank you Jamie! we have never used our fireplaces due to the fact that we used to have a little wood stove in our kitchen that caused a house fire 6 1/2 years ago. any open fire in the house scares me!
