This house is so dark and dreary, at least until we get more lighting and paint, so I wanted to lighten it up a little. Using Annie Sloan Old White paint, I started by wiping down the area and then went to town.

| starting to paint with Annie Sloan chalk paint |
Painted, ready for wax, dark wax, and distressing.
Close up of the detail on the mantel... all finished.
I decided that I did NOT like the tiles being brown, so the next day I painted those too. Much better, I must say!
Another successful Annie Sloan paint project! We are looking for heat resistant paint to paint the fire place a brown color. Then it will look much better!

| First coat of brown Stove Bright spray paint! Got it from our local stove/pool/spa store. |
 |
| And done! SO MUCH BETTER! :) |
 |
| Ta Da!! |
 |
| We found a nice woodstove insert on Craigslist for about 1/4 of the cost! So Hubby ripped out the useless fireplace to prep for the stove. |
 |
| Cement mixed and poured. |
 |
| Leveled firebox ready for woodstove placement! |
