Before & After: Master Bedroom Fireplace

I absolutely love having fires in the winter and in our new place, it was such a special treat to have a fireplace already in the master bedroom. Unfortunately, it was really ugly. The wall was a weird half wall, there was an outdated, not-very-well done surround and was just completely lack luster.
Here is the before

And the after.

Small changes make a huge difference. We added a mantle, marble surround, removed the glass/brass doors and completed the wall (why was it like this to begin with?) and voila. An entirely new focal point in our new bedroom.

I can’t wait for this new chapter and am so thankful to have you all along for the ride.I first have to thank Hanna from GADABOUT for this beautiful site. I wasn’t the easiest client, but I am so unbelievably pleased with the final result! Hanna was such a dream to work with and made my jumble of ideas into a reality.

If there is anything you specifically notice, please make sure to leave a comment to let me know so we can get it fixed ASAP. Also, please make sure to update your feedly, bloglovin’, blog rolls, etc.

There are some really fun new features to this site that I am so excited to introduce. Maybe the most exciting is the “Resources” tab at the top of the page.
