Not only the part that it hardly cost you anything, but it reminds me of the one in the movie, Something's Gotta Give. I hope your knees are feeling better.<br />I would paint the fireplace mantel white. Then accessorize it with a few oversize objects that have lots of shine and/or texture. That would make it blend seamlessly with the rest of the room. <br /><br />I found you thru the Nester's Bird Watching post and so happy that I clicked over.<br />My best- DianeDiane@InMyOwnStylehttp://inmyownstyle.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6092733182179138728.post-65286179164122466142010-07-07T12:09:16.637-07:002010-07-07T12:09:16.637-07:00Yeah me!!!!!!!!!

Now in terms of the fireplace, last year my carpenter took our plain brick fireplace and overlayed the brick with plywood, then painted it white. I think it looks beachy because the architectural elements he used was a rope motif. He actually took real rope and nailed it in places that curved. It's on my blog last year if you want to see. I believe just about a year ago. <br />BrendaBrenda Pruitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14544794729410559072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6092733182179138728.post-42048043373472765822010-07-05T11:41:42.998-07:002010-07-05T11:41:42.998-07:00Very pretty.
