Hello Barbara how are you? I actually remember when you painted the fireplace and I think your husband rebuilt your mantle to fit your specifications. I think that the mantle was a DIY. I never forgot and I've been trying to get my husband to do something similar but we have so many projects that one is on the backburner. Have a good weekend 🥰

@decoratingwithbarbara8125 Жыл бұрын

I know what you mean you have to pick and choose your projects. Yes we did make the mantel over, but when you saw me paint it, that was about the 3rd time. If you go to the very end of the small space video you will see the original red brick and moreo old pics. It was pretty bad. 😏Tfw 😊

@sheliaporter6795 Жыл бұрын

Your home is gorgeous! Maybe you could use some of the paints for metal and paint your appliances.

@decoratingwithbarbara8125 Жыл бұрын

I thought about that, but I'm not sure how painting appliances will hold up. 😏 😊

@sheliaporter6795 Жыл бұрын

@decoratingwithbarbara8125 Get the metal paint for outdoor things. I painted a metal #3 wash tub to plant flowers in by my friend's gate, and it has held up beautifully for over 4 years and counting. I did put 2 coats of polyurethane over it to make sure it would be sealed well, because the Florida sun is ruthless. I also used it on our mailbox, and it still looks new after 3 years.

what a difference from the original colors and style!!! Appliances are so expensive and don't last like they used to. We have our ugly old 1995 white refrigerator in the garage and it still works perfectly while inside our kitchen we our on our third frig! I say keep yours as long as they work since the black ones blend in with your esthetic.
