Paint it? No, How about BRICKING it!!

Since the change of color in the kitchen I have been struggling with what to do with the front room.

My kitchen was transformed, and I kind of felt like the front room was left behind and kind of blah…UNTIL NOW!

I wanted to add something NEW and different to the front room. Something more unique than just hanging up curtains again.

Here is what I came up with!

Before picture…

And AFTER…

Ahhh, it’s sooo much prettier in person!

Brett slaved away this weekend to put it all together. He had to cut off 1/2″ slivers off real bricks (You can buy them pre-cut but, Brett wanted to save the money by doing it himself)

There were over 200 bricks, but my “handy man” . . .er, I mean my husband pulled through:)
Here are a few more pictures of before and after…

I LOVE IT!!!

The brick adds so much dimension and warmth to the room.

I can’t wait to get my old chairs re-upholstered! I am also on the search for a rug for the front room, which I am finding more challenging than I thought. I also haven’t figured out what I am doing with my mantle, so don’t look at that at this point!

I also just pulled out all my red Christmas decor! Humm? Is anyone feeling the same frustration I am with adding red to a blue/gray room? I might just have to go a totally different direction with Christmas this year!! 🙁

In the meantime,I hope you all have a VERY Happy Thanksgiving!!
