I have one more project update to share with you, this one is for the masonry stove. After we made the adjustments and improvements on it last summer, I wasn't sure that I liked the resulting look of it.
The improvements in efficiency were well worth the change in aesthetics, but I was used to the visual variations of the bricks and wasn't sure I liked the solid white. I felt something was needed. Here's what we ended up doing.
The newly painted green alcove matches the thermal curtains I bought last year. I got the cast iron tree silhouettes from Etsy. All in all, I like it better. I liked the brick look best, but this is a good alternative.
That looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Daisy!
DeleteI was going to say Bob Ross would have been proud when I first saw that picture but alas, they weren't hand painted. I suppose you've had enough painting in recent months to last you awhile so I don't blame you for the purchase.
ReplyDeleteEd, it never occurred to me to paint them on. It's a really rough stucco-like surface, so even if I tried, I doubt they'd look like trees!
DeleteI agree that it looks much cozier, with the update. Good job!
ReplyDeleteLaurie, I think so too. :)
DeleteLovely touch :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Quinn!
DeleteYes, those changes - painted walls and trees look great! Small but BIG difference.
ReplyDeleteDicky Bird, it's amazing how even small details can make a big difference. I'm happy with this one.
DeleteOh, I like that too Leigh! It is the perfect touch.
ReplyDeleteThanks TB!
DeleteThat is really nice, Leigh! I was not expecting the trees as I scrolled down and they definitely add a nice touch. Well done.
ReplyDeleteBob, I looked at a lot of ideas and liked the trees the best. They sort of suit us, I think. :)
DeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteMichelle, thank you!
