Fireplace Before & After

Woohoo! The shiny polished brass is *almost* gone from my house (have to switch out the dining room chandy for one I bought almost 2 years ago, oops). But at least I can say it is gone gone gone from my living room! Woot!
Here is the shiny offender before:

And here is the lovely after (2 coats of heat resistant paint in the only color they had: satin black):

 

And now my nesting has turned on the brick. I want to white wash them, and don't tell me I can't or I shouldn't.....it's my house- I live here. :)

So hope you like the transformation!
