Chalk Painted Fireplace Mantel

Giving your fireplace mantel a new look with paint!! Oh the power of paint!! I love that it's really that easy- I think picking the new colors can be more work that just jumping in and deciding to do it. I painted this back in September but I finally made the time to share with you how I did and what colors I used to bring together all the elements in my own home and design. You can see more here.. http://www.vintagecharmrestored.com/2014/01/chalk-paint-fireplace-mantel.html
Layering paint colors on top of your builder grade white mantel can give it brand new upscale look.
Enjoyed the project?

I love your fire place! It looks so upscale and makes the space look larger. I want to use those colors to finish some furniture pieces to match my armoire was it difficult? How long did it take you? Thanks for the pin

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
We first painted our oak mantle & surround black, then distressed it, but felt it was too hard, so now we primed it & painted it off white like our woodwork. Still not quite right......any suggestions based on how you layered your fireplace surround?
