Before
After (Tip, don't attempt stripes your first try. My mistake!!)
My Peddler's Mall find
After some serious sanding, stripping, and painting! With the help of brick tiles, 2 x 4s, and plywood it made a beautiful faux fireplace.
The Kitchen Before (Well, after I painted the walls and cabinets, but before I tiled.)
The Kitchen After. These are 1"x1" glass tiles. I wasn't too bad, I really enjoyed it!
