We are halfway through the Fall ORC, and today’s post is a bright transformation! Painting the fireplace is something we knew we wanted to do well before we moved in. I’m not a huge fan of brick, and painting the fireplace white was an inexpensive fix that would hold us over until we find the perfect tile. At first, we dabbled with white-washing the brick, but ultimately I felt that painting them completely white would be the most transformative. Scroll down to see the before and after transformation.

The One Room Challenge is hosted twice a year in spring and again in Fall and run for 6-weeks. I’m thrilled to be participating as a guest, and I look forward to starting this challenge and connecting with fellow bloggers! I’ll be posting each week to share our dining space's on-going progress while highlighting our weekly to-do list (more on that below)!
