Fireplace Surround

Happy New Week.

I wanted to share with you a new treasure I came upon this weekend.

I miss having a fireplace especially in the winter months.  This tiny cottage house did not come with one :(.   I found this sweet fireplace surround while out treasure hunting this weekend.

The black mantel will be replaced with a wood mantel or possibly painted white and chippy. 

The cream stone will be painted cottage white.

Not sure yet if I will leave the opening and hearth black or if I will do something different with that just yet. 
I  need to put on my thinking cap on this one.

Here is an inspiration picture found on Pinterest of adding sweet candles and an old framed mirror to the opening of the fireplace.

In this inspiration picture they added the candles and then put an old window in the front.

I like this idea of adding birch logs and greens with some white lights.

Lots of good ideas running around in my head.

I am excited it fits on this wall in my living room.
 It will add a nice cottage fireplace to my decor.

Stay tuned as I re love this piece into pretty.

I found some great candelabra's and an old mantel clock that hopefully will look very pretty on the new mantel.

Have a good week.

Hugs,
Kris
