Our fireplaces and mantles were almost twins! The brick were the same, I think. Yes, I agonized over my fireplace for almost 20 years. No one wanted me to paint it. My husband, sister, and girl friends were all afraid it would ruin it. And I thought it already had been ruined. I posted mine last week, too. I'm on Debbie's Newbie Party, too. Come see mine...I'm your newest follower. BTW, I do love your new look on that fireplace!

Your accessories are ideal for your new fireplace...but, I have to say the driftwood, shells and the white starfish inside the fireplace is such a unique idea, and I admit, I just usually clean mine out and leave the doors closed on it all summer, you have given me some great ideas with that, I don't have any driftwood, but I have plenty of bamboo - not to sure how that would look though. Such a fabulous transformation.
