Fireplace update

I'm still working on painting all the trim in the house white. In this process, we had a fireplace with a huge wooden mantle that matched the old trim. I really wanted to paint it white, but I was afraid of it looking terrible, or getting dirty easily. I finally took the plunge and did it and guess what? I LOVE it. It looks awesome!

Trevor is also my hero. We had our TV on top of the fireplace and had the cords coming down off the sides which was such a terrible eyesore. I must have complained about it enough because he finally came up with a solution for me ;) He drilled a hole in the back of the fireplace and fished our cords through it to the basement. Also, he mounted the TV on the wall for me! It looks a million times better. What a guy ;)

Here's our before and afters!




We love working on our house and it is slowly coming together! More pics to come in the future.
