Fireplace Corbels

 I always thought the Fireplace in the Great Room needed a little sumpin-sumpin. The mantle just seemed too big and heavy to me.
Here it is when we got the house.

After paint and and some accessories.


Then, I finally found the-size-I-wanted at the-price-I wanted corbels.  They were black, so I spray painted them white and then glued them to the fireplace. I also removed the glass doors and painted the brass edges and the wood handles black with high-heat appliance paint.



I like it much better.  And it was super easy!  I think my next step is the glaze the mantel with a stainless steel glaze I found at Lowe’s.  If I hate it, I can always paint the whole thing white again!
