This week, we've staying at a beach house in Manistee, Michigan (which is absolutely a wonderful spot and beautifully decorated). And what have they done? Painted their fireplace - which makes us rethink our decision.
Thoughts?
One young couple.
One bundle of joy on the way.
The mission: Find a new place to call home - quickly.

I like them both...but I vote for staying with the brick! I always liked the multicolored brick look, and I don't think it looks too '70s.
Paint it! I love the cottage look of white painted brick. So fresh and clean :)
Hey, when is your due date?
hmm - I think if you planned on staying in the house long term its an issue to really comptemplate - but it could sort of fall under the "not your problem" if you leave after a couple of years - I like the painted white look, what color would you paint it - I agree with alison that both look good :)
The jury is still out on the paint, but I'll keep you updated. We'd most likely to do the walls and brick the same color - something creamy and neutral.
I'm due October 7th, which seems like it's coming up fast now!
Hey Sher! Liking your blog... Have you guys thought about Tiling over the brick or stone? I think lovely Paul helped us tile our fireplace in Commerce. I will try and share a before and after pix for you. We also have a painted brick fireplace in A2 now. I wish it weren't but I don't know what the brick looks like either.
I'd go with the paint, the dark brick is so dominant...
