You’d better watch out, you’d better not cry, you’d better fix your ugly fireplace or Santa will refuse to use it and probably give all your presents to the neighbors.
That might not be true, but why risk it? Even if Santa Claus doesn’t really care about the aesthetic appeal of your fireplace, I’m betting Mrs. Claus does. (nudge nudge, wink wink).
So why not kick this holiday season off right with a refreshed mantle that belligerently screams HOLIDAY CHEER!!! like it’s had a little too much eggnog. Or, you know, just a nice normal good-looking mantle is fine too.
Emily at Our House Now a Home turned this light-sucking, lump-o-coal into a glorious fireplace that glistens like freshly fallen snow.
Ahhh. SO much better! I love how she tiled the firebox too. Check out her blog to see the product she used, SO EASY!
And Nina at Everyday Enchanting had a fireplace that was more naughty than nice, but don’t worry, it didn’t stay that way for long…
Isn’t it gorgeous? Great mix of cool and warm with the marble surround against the rustic wood mantle. Put this on the ‘VERY nice’ list!
