HERE IS THE BEFORE

As you can see the entire fireplace had a dark stain     

Now it is light and bright with a new planked wall and raw wood mantel.

I used cotton stem branches purchased at Decor Steals to decorate the mantel.

  You can shop here for the branches

The pink flowers are from my yard.

The plank wall was a DIY collaboration between my husband and me.  

The details are all here

I spent a lot of time sanding the mantel to get to the natural wood.

 I love the results!  

 If you ask me... Was it worth the dust and sore muscles?  I say yes for sure!!
