Change that Mantel... Color!

Please bare with me as I learn the Ins & Outs of Blogger.

I'm still figuring out where stuff is and how stuff works.

(with my graphic design background,

I want things to look a certain way, and right now they just don't.

But hopefully that will change SOON.)

So, Onto the Fun Part!

I've been trying for a long time to decide if I wanted to paint the mantel or not.

I knida feel like I shouldn't be paint wood. Like I want to "save" it for something (crazy I know).
But I finally just went with it and put the paint to it!
And i'm so glad I did.. I like it a whole lot better!

I live in a house with a LOT of wood tones. Not necessarily my style.

But I'm having a hard time changing it!

I really want to try Whitewashing!

But thats a whole nother topic!

Ya'll havta stay tuned:)

Here's a before or after!

(well knida before, I started paint and then relized I hadn't snapped a picture, so I ran and got the camera!)
