fireplace makeover

Here’s another wood-clad fireplace with gray painted brick from Beneath My Heart. I really love it.

I *think* my initial plan is to whitewash the brick with my beloved Shoji White paint color. I’m trying to figure out if I should use my other favorite – Amazing Gray – below the mantel so that there is some contrast. I would eventually like to add some wood to the fireplace wall to give it a bit more oomph, but I’m just working on a live-able, temporary plan.

If you have any thoughts or advice, I would love to hear. Do you have a brick fireplace that you would love to paint, whitewash or clad with wood?
