Mantle Love

About a year ago I painted the fireplace white.  I love it. It's so clean and unmuddled. The mantle hadn't changed since we moved in.  I put an end to that yesterday.

Lately I've been in the bedroom painting the doors and trim. When we moved in this rent house, almost every painted surface was the same color....taupe. The doors were 'white'...but yellowed horribly. The walls and trim were literally the same color.  I spent a lot time painting the doors, kitchen cabinets and the trim clean and white.

While moving things from behind the closet door that remains open at all times, there were a lot of my husband's show posters and small paintings....so I decided to put some to use instead of them just collecting dust.

Here's how the mantle's been :



And here's the present :
