Highlights from the weekend…..
Before I get started we have to have a moment for the pups. Can you believe we kinda, sorta got them in their Halloween costumes? It only took about 5 treats. Callie would not leave her witch hat on for more than 20 seconds. Chalrie wanted to eat her hot dog. Ha!
Really, I was trying to get a good shot of our fireplace, because I’m obsessed. It’s so fresh + clean + black!
This is what the inside of our fireplace looked like before…..
All you need:
1 qt. High Heat Satin Black Enamel Paint + paint roller + cheapy paintbrush + painters tape.
I did some research before I started this project and I found that you need a high heat paint.
Anyway, I bought Rust-Oleum High Heat paint in black and got to work.
To start I vacuumed out all the dust, cobwebs, dirt, etc. It was actually pretty dirty, so I also used a hot soapy rag to wipe everything down really well. I wanted the brick to be as clean as possible before I started painted.
Once I had everything all cleaned up, I got to painting. I used a roller to apply the paint to the brick and that made the job super fast. I rolled it on and used a small cheapy paintbrush for the tight areas + corners.
I probably only needed one coat of paint to get great coverage, but I followed up with a second coat. NOTE – This stuff STINKS. Make sure you paint on a day you can open up all the windows and leave them open for a while.
Ok, here’s how it looks now!
So much better now! Don’t you think? I am actually surprised at how easy the whole process was and I wish I had done this sooner.
I think the finished look is so clean and classic. It’s makes the whole fireplace look better!
Back in August I actually painted our fireplace brick white. It made the biggest difference making the room feel so much lighter + brighter.
Here is the fireplace before…when we moved in.
LOVE it!
Okay, and now for highlights from the weekend…..
We kicked off the weekend in at Zocolo celebrating a birthday
So much fun catching up with these chicks. We’ve been friends for so long that we just pick up right where we left off.
My Saturday morning view. Loving this new Merry Mug even with pumpkins in the background…lol!
Got to spend Saturday afternoon at Taber Ranch with another groups of good friends.
ps – still not drinking wine.
Thanks for the fun afternoon friends! Let’s do it again soon!
Bay + I binged watched the Studio McGee Dream Home Makeover. I shared this exact image on my instagram stories yesterday and Shea responded. I almost fell out of my damn chair.
Sunday morning stroll with Toni + Cooper! And it FINALLY looks + feels like Fall.
We checked out the new coffee shop in town, Main Street Lounge.
We will be back when they get their liquor license and start firing up the Pizza Oven. Coming soon!
We payed a visit to the new pigs in the barn. So many sweet little babes.
Meal prepped for the week. This combo, but added some extra romaine to stretch the salad. So good! If you haven’t tried these burgers – get them!
