Again, paint was a major player in the fabulous makeover above. Limiting the color palette to black and white kept it clean, while the existing shape gave it a bit of a mid-century modern appeal. Click over to ManMade for more information and lots of other photos.
This time the homeowners used tile to invigorate a tired old fireplace – a big change without breaking the bank. Check out their blog post on the tiling process over at Magenta and Lime.
Talk about a massive transformation. Color was the biggest problem with the original fireplace, so lots of white paint and a splash of cool blue gave it a contemporary feel. A new base also added to its modern transformation. Read all about the makeover on Fox Hollow Cottage.
