Evolution of a Fireplace
Elizabeth Samay • May 10, 2023
The first picture shows a faux finish on the wall, which was professionally done by the previous homeowner. This was early 2000s and very popular. The original wall did not have a fireplace shelf. We added this to give more dimension to the fireplace.
The second picture was about 10 years later. The wall was painted a dark grey and the fireplace box left white which was a nice contrast complementing the French doors.
The third picture is the most recent. Trim was added to the fireplace wall and the wall and fireplace box has been painted the same color to create a moodiness to the space. The wall around it has been painted a lighter grey.
Paint is like magic and the least expensive way to change the feel of a space.
