A few weeks ago I painted our red brick in our family room. It was a LONG process that was spread over a few days, but I think the end result turned out quite nice. I feel like the white brightens up the room.
Before: (please excuse the toys)
After:
I also painted the lamps from a blue to a black and got a new ottoman.
And painted the mirror above the fireplace from a gold to a black.
And, got a new FLOR rug!
Future plans... paint the room a much softer,lighter color; add built-ins around the fireplace; rip out the current TV montrosity to open up the room; take up the carpet (We are talking about doing this after our second child is walking... and I'm not even pregnant... so, we've got a while.)
