I still like the fireplace but I’m falling out of love with the brass accents. I would love to use the brass as an excuse to buy a new brass free gas fireplace with a clear rock insert that makes it look like fire and ice when you light a fire.
Fireplace Before
However, I can’t justify the resources and expense it takes to replace a fireplace we rarely use. Angie of Country Chic Cottage and Cara of Moore Craft Time issued a Craft Lightening challenge – to make something that takes 15 minutes or less, excluding the drying time for paint or glue.
I looked at my 2012 DIY Goal List and took them up on the challenge. It’s time for a quick and easy fireplace update.
