White Fireplace Reveal and also Digital Home Design4992313

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was assisting my close friend redo her fireplace. The red brick as well as wood mantel was sort of an eye-sore, and we both had the same idea: polish it white!

Using these fireplaces as our motivation, we got to work. The method was a piece of cake.

1. Clean up the fireplace so that it is free of dirt and dust 2. Prime 3. Paint two coats of white paint 4. Enjoy

Here are a few family room designing ideas. Paint a subtle shade of taupe/gray, which actually helps offset the fireplace. Even my friend's hubby, who was cynical of the white fireplace initially, thinks it's wonderful. Double score:)

Let's discuss favorite room ideas. Yes, they all have a touch of pink! Not sure the reason why, but I've been on a serious pink kick lately. The fifth picture is actually a reading corner in Reese Witherspoon's place! I'd take that room any day; the blending of patterns is to die for. What about you? What color has been captivating your eye and calling you??

To assist with e-design for my interior design websites, I just bought Photoshop CS6 and have been experimenting with it ever since using linen-1495859746. (Is it normal for your eyes to burn from looking at the computer for such a long time?! I kid:) ) This is my very first collage using it and I am so thrilled to keep producing more! I believe it will be a wonderful tool not only for prettying up the blog, but also for developing e-designs and of course, tweaking pictures.
