Brightly Painted Fireplaces

<div style="text-align: center;">I love white mantels, I love old brick surrounds, I love fireplaces that have been painted the usual black, white or grey. We've seen these time and time again, and for good reason...classics are classic after all. But, if you're looking to make a big impact with your fireplace and really make it the focal point of the room, why not have some fun with paint? <br />I came across this picture the other day and was instantly smitten:<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKPrkOc2LvcSDajbpTL6mQeUYFqg3lx1Da3YaBC5U2Yay50tBjGxtxf5skXrlFnezaPmKy_1pRiPkn1KmEj392Fo91odoQ43q5qp89TKBUR_G2biK2ZVpPTQIqahdwhz7rDHJdZom0_khD/s1600/yellow+fireplace.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKPrkOc2LvcSDajbpTL6mQeUYFqg3lx1Da3YaBC5U2Yay50tBjGxtxf5skXrlFnezaPmKy_1pRiPkn1KmEj392Fo91odoQ43q5qp89TKBUR_G2biK2ZVpPTQIqahdwhz7rDHJdZom0_khD/s1600/yellow+fireplace.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://bklynbrideonline.com/17372/studio-tour/studio-tour-regas-ny/">via Brooklyn Bride</a></td></tr></tbody></table>^This shot is from the studio of Regas, NY.
