When in doubt, paint it black! Kidddddding. Always choose black, because #blackisbeautiful 🖤 Over a year ago, we saved seven of these gorgeous #fireplacemantle from the dumpster. I ended up selling all of them except for the painted one that needed work. And seriously, I'm so grateful for the #wtphillyhouse project in so many ways because it gave me an opportunity to "keep" some of my favorite salvage and #foundobjects and design them into a space or, better yet, a home ( that I would live in) So I am thrilled to say HELL YES, to saving this mantel for almost two years. It was well worth the space taken in our warehouse and another hell yes because boy does this mantel look and feel as if it was made for this house ✨ #interiordesign #paintitblack #homerenovation #detroithomes
