Farmhouse Fireplace Mantel Makeover

Farmhouse Fireplace-Spring Mantel-From My Front Porch To Yours
I shared last week our simple Spring fireplace mantel. As I was editing the pics for the blog post I kept thinking in my head that it felt incomplete and how I wanted to implement some of the ideas we had tossed around these past few months concerning the fireplace.
Farmhouse Fireplace-Makeover Plans-From My Front Porch To Yours
Here are a few ideas I sketched out awhile back. We have many projects we want to accomplish and Mr. Front Porch asked me if the fireplace was one of the projects I wanted to start on first. I thought long and hard about it and decided I had a simple fix for the fireplace because what I really wanted to start on was our kitchen.

The simple fix was paint! It is amazing what paint can do. Mr. Front Porch doesn't get why I love to paint so much. You can literally transform a space with paint.

All I did was dry brush on several colors and played around with them till I had a look I liked. The colors I used were SW Alabaster, SW Dorian gray and a black I had on hand.

Simply painting the fireplace mantel has given it an entirely new life I think.

It no longer blends into the space but demands to be seen.

I love how SW Dorian Gray plays so nicely with SW Agreeable Gray. I told Mr. Front Porch that the fireplace reno project may have just moved down the list quite a bit.
This is not the first fireplace makeover I have completed. Take a peek at our last fireplace and see it's amazing transformation.

Speaking of transformations here is a sneak peek at the completed range hood! I am in LOVE y'all!! This past weekend we started working on the backsplash and hopefully will have that completed this weekend. I also need to paint the upper half of the wall. Be sure to stop back by to see the reveal!

  1. Nice - both projects!! Believe it or not, I just came from the Sherwin Wms store, and had my hands on Dorian Gray, and Alabaster last week. Although neither ended up being my choices, I do like them both! Your mantel and the hood are looking good, Pamela!

    1. Thanks Rita. Alabaster actually matches the trim thru out our home and our kitchen cabinets. I had bought a sample pot of it to test out so I am glad I found a use for it. I was not so sure about the Dorian Gray at first but I made myself keep going with it and so glad I did!
