When I went to visit my sister Sharon over the holidays she asked me to experiment on her fireplace. They had just moved the previous year and she wanted to add some drama to the mantel and her walls. I figured experimenting on her house was much better than experimenting with mine (smile).
This is the BEFORE
All white isn't necessarily boring, but for my sister it's a major sin! I took a deep breath, waited until the family left for church and pounced. I have difficulty working with prowling eyes. (smile)
After a few days of sanding, priming and dabbing I finished her fireplace.
Close Up
Once the fireplace was completed we tackled her wall - sorry I didn't take any "work in progress pictures". The camera didn't pick up the colors clearly but it was cranberry and taupe, both colors were plastered on creating a kaleidoscope of colors. Do you remember the vases from my earlier blog? If not you can read here.
We were both pleased with the results including my son!
You want to know the best part about working in my sisters house? If I had goofed up anything it would have been in her house and not mine!
