A Little Paint and Time Goes A Long Way

Little updates can go a long way to enhancing the marketability of your house. The pictures above are a shining example of how one can turn a 1970's fireplace and bookshelves into an updated fresh look. The room has been brightened and feels bigger. The shelves have been decluttered and the look is clean. The investment in a project like this was a few pieces of wood to cover the original brick mantle, a gallon or two of paint and several hours of time. This is an easy project. I should know. I did it.
