The Fireplace Reveal {Before & After}

When we moved into our house in 2011, we were so happy that is was move in ready.  We literally walked through it once and decided that we would like to buy it. Done!  (Of course I was 37 weeks pregnant so we were not all that picky after house hunting for 9 months)  Luckily, we ended up in the best house for the money.

The whole house had 'builder-boring' written all over it.  We did a lot of cosmetic changes our own, but with the [just our luck!] water damage at the beginning of the year, we were able to change a lot most of the things we didn't like.

Tile was a major part of that! It did nothing for the house style wise.
It was in the bathrooms, kitchen, laundry room and right here on the fireplace, smack dab in the middle of the living room.  Ugh!

Notice the ichy paint color on the walls and the reddish wood floors too. Not a good combo.

Well......has all that has changed! Take a look at our new fireplace surround!

I know you can't see the rest of the room in this picture, but [trust me!] it changes the whole feel!  Yes I will be posting more pictures soon, I have a lot to share actually.   My parents just left this weekend after being here for a week and we got some serious painting done!
