I have had a plan for a while (ok, for about a month, since we moved in) to paint the fireplace brick dark gray and the mantle a different color (i.e., something other than white). I either haven't had the time or the nerve (the time, I think...I've got plenty of nerve when it comes to my house), but it has not happened yet. Then today, lo and behold, I find this photo on design sponge:
ME LIKEY! I am determined to accomplish something very similar before Santa makes his way into my fireplace. Perhaps the orange will be toned down a *bit* from this photo...maybe the color of my kitchen or something similar (or maybe, just maybe, dark pink)...whatever I choose, it will be bold and will assure that the fireplace is an awesome focal point in my living room. Stay tuned.

awesome! me likey too! a friend just painted her fireplace with bricks all the way up the wall an awesome green- like guacamole- it looks great and is a wonderful focal point... i can't wait to see the final... no pressure, but you have 24 days!
ps- your thanksgiving table looks wonderful!
sabs,while the idea sounds and looks great, trust my 60 somewhat years of experience that painting brick is a forever thing and what you like today you may hate 5 years down the road. the photos of your home at this point are great and i really enjoy seeing them. loved seeing you,jeff and my adorable little angels. nana
