With spring officially here and summer quickly approaching, you are probably not thinking about your fireplace at all. Pish posh! Now is exactly when you should be thinking about it. You aren’t using it, so now is the perfect time to give it a makeover. And also clean out your flue? I don’t know, I haven’t had a fireplace in ten years. But probably you should look into that.
Then, when winter rolls around, your fireplace is ready to burn and looking good too! Isn’t that all we want from a fireplace?
Kammy at Kammy’s Korner was sick to death of her fireplace and its pink granite surround. Despite horrified gasps from her family and friends, she went ahead and painted right over it. Painted granite? You betcha. She stenciled a trellis design over the top, and it looks like a custom tile job to me!

it’s a million times nicer and so very very well done.

May 6, 2015 at 7:18 PMSo cute! Way to go not listening to those naysayers. My mom (and husband) freak out every time I paint a piece of furniture. Whatever. And I totally am thinking about fireplaces right now! I need to redo mine before it sits unused another winter.
