My Sunday Paint Project...

I have been wanting to do SOMETHING to this firebox area for a long time... so yesterday... I pulled out the paint cans, paint brushes and drop cloth... Drawing tools...
Laid out my pattern...
And began painting... first black...

Then white...
And voila... by evening... a NEW look!
I will be doing some touch up here and there in the sunlight this week or painting over it... not sure if I like it or not... it has been white for so long... what do you think? I will definitely be keep the inside of the box black and adding mirror to the back of the firebox... to reflect candles! The firebox was never a fireplace... but it was used with a radiator at one time... I wish I had a photo of it originally (home built 1930).
Welllllllllllll... speaking of PAINTING... I have two winners of my giveaway to announce... drum roll please...
