Good luck with everything and I'm sure you already know this but I saw on another blog that she switches out her shelving backgrounds by covering and/or painting cut pieces of either cardboard or thin wood so she can change the color of the back with the seasons. This might help since you can use all of your choices throughout the year!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03200950769037182930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094626877865766804.post-31162259214959240532014-06-08T16:59:00.998-06:002014-06-08T16:59:00.998-06:00Sigh!

I took all the gold trim off and spray painted it with regular black spray paint. (I think it was high gloss enamel....) I've never had a problem with it since.

I just had to look up my owner's manual for my carpenter to see how close the mantle could come to the fireplace box.

I don't see why the paint wouldn't hold up--the outside of the fireplace doesn't get THAT hot, does it?<br /><br />I'm a sucker for painted brick (actually, whitewashed is my favorite), but there is something about exposed brick like this that does have a warm, homey feel, doesn't it?<br /><br />Looks like you're doing a great job of getting settled in! How are you feeling?Richella Parhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04353214472648623583noreply@blogger.com
