Fireplace update
I want to paint my fireplace doors for sure, to get rid of brass, but what color, think flat black, also was wondering if I should paint mantel white? My husband won't let me paint brick so any suggestions would be great. I'm going to paint room a neutral gray.

hace 7 añosPainting the mantel white will only make matters worse.
You could address the room in general and that might improve the appearance, but I imagine your husband might object to that also??

hace 7 añosHere are some things that would help lighten the entire fireplace wall and reconfigure surroundings without painting the fireplace:
--Get a rustic, chunky light colored wood mantel that extends to the edge of the fireplace. Painting the current one white is too much contrast. The red brick calls for something natural.
--Paint the brass black as suggested above and fill the space with big chunky logs in light colored wood or birch--not just one or two logs, but a big pile.
--Place a light colored open basket of tall, light-colored logs on the hearth.
--Put a beautiful light colored landscape, representational or abstract, that is about three-quarters the width of the fireplace. Your room is a sea of brown, beige, and dark colors. This might be easier than drywalling the top, though that's a good idea.
Ren-Wil OL898 Autumn MistOlivia Salazar Collection · Más información--Change your curtains to white with a red or brown accent to add lightness and pattern to that wall.
--You're fortunate to have a flanking window and sliders to let in light, but the TV blocks the pretty window. If you move your TV and console to the mirror wall instead, float your sofa to face that wall, and turn the coffee table, your room will feel much more airy. And you'll have the bonus of seeing the TV from the kitchen. Put one of your upholstered chairs next to the window with a lamp, and you have a reading corner and the other facing the fireplace.

hace 7 añosSome examples of different ways to decorate a red brick fireplace. As Beverly shows above, stark white isn't the way to go. Try to match grout color to any painted mantel treatments you may consider (see distressed surround below)

hace 7 añosWe had a similar brick fireplace and covered it with drywall and marble. The brass door was spray painted grey. Here are the before and after pics.
