I might try that in my dining room. I am glad people are telling me the fireplace will look good painted. That's a hard decision to make, I am going to do a post about it (I am working out all my design issues on this blog! lol)Syndi Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14319702251481891614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1490874643355539963.post-88917031813483485162012-01-22T21:17:47.475-05:002012-01-22T21:17:47.475-05:00Hi Syndi, I've been stopping by ever since you...Hi Syndi, I've been stopping by ever since you commented on my blog a few weeks back. I love that we're both loving our lake homes and so glad you found me. <br /><br />I agree, that pink rug would be the first thing on my hit list. We lucked out when we moved in and found hardwood floors under the awful rugs that were originally in our home, which was a nice bonus. But if we hadn't I would have definitely pulled it up and painted the subfloor and painted the banisters. <br /><br />The DIY showoff did an absolutely amazing job of painting her subfloors. <br /><br />http://diyshowoff.com/2011/10/how-to-paint-a-floor-tutorial.html. <br /><br />Younghouselove has painted a couple of fireplaces which totally changed their rooms (for the better). <br /><br />http://www.younghouselove.com/2011/06/fireplace-happenings/<br /><br />I would start with the cheap and high impact things first that you could change with paint and then take it from there. <br /><br />Hope this helps!Mariahttp://www.ourlakelife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1490874643355539963.post-21489182345668742642012-01-22T09:23:36.623-05:002012-01-22T09:23:36.623-05:00Hi, i came over to check you out.

I think one of your problems in getting followers, is that your comments don't have a hyperlink in your name, so it isn't easy to get to your blog.

That fireplace is so big and ugly. It will be a big leap to paint it white but I am almost there. Unfortunately there is only a subfloor under the rug, that's why we are going to paint it, with the hopes of being able to afford hardwood someday.Syndi Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14319702251481891614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1490874643355539963.post-4099418254580609662012-01-21T17:43:24.625-05:002012-01-21T17:43:24.625-05:00I would def paint the fireplace and the banister ...I would def paint the fireplace and the banister white,,,palladian blue possibly on the walls,,,what's under the rug?...hardwood floors with a natural rug would be nice...hope that was helpful :)karennoreply@blogger.com
