Quick Alter {Mantle}

Hi friends!

The other night, half-way through fixing dinner, this happened.

What tin forcefulness out I say? Sometimes when inspiration strikes, I receive got to tackle a projection right. that. minute.

Several years ago, I had done a dry-brush dark complete over my stained mantle. It's been bugging me for a niggling while, but I didn't know how I wanted to alter it yet. Finally, the idea struck me to pigment it the same coloring equally the dorsum of the built-in shelves (SW Urbane Bronze).

For the record, I didn't practise whatsoever prep for this other than wipe it downwards good. I did ii coats of paint, hence gave the acme exclusively a quick coat of polyurethane spray- my describe a fast ane on for assuring that the pigment cures faster than regular drying times. It was ready afterwards 24-36 hours to position the accessories dorsum inwards house without existence tacky. (Without whatsoever acme coat, latex pigment tin forcefulness out accept upward to a calendar month to fully cure hence in that location is no tackiness when items are placed on the surface).

I wasn't certain at first, but it's growing on me.

What practise yous think?

Here's how it looks alongside all of the bookshelves along that wall. The coloring reads much darker inwards the shelves because of the lack of lighting.

I've also been playing alongside the slice of furniture organization inwards anticipation of lastly finding a novel sofa. I'm checking the measurements I'll postulate together with volition portion to a greater extent than almost that soon. Some of yous alongside a abrupt oculus powerfulness receive got noticed a niggling something else that's new, can't hold back to portion to a greater extent than almost that inwards the time to come too! I receive got a mini-living room makeover inwards the works, mainly merely inwards the shape of a few novel pieces of furniture.
