SUGGESTIONS NEEDED


This is a picture of the wall that is seen as you walk into my living room.  I think you can click on this to make it larger.

I want to brick this wall.  I've seen some thin bricks that have been made from old salvaged brick - various colors of reds, browns, blacks.  I want an "old" look - rustic, not smooth and finished looking.  The other walls in the room (painted a taupe color) will stay as they are - this will be an accent wall.

I'm going to paint the frame around the mirror black to match the fireplace and I'll change the window valences when I'm finished (or eliminate them completely) but the blinds have to stay.

Any thoughts or suggestions?  I'm open to all ideas.

Oh Lynne I think the frame of the mirror would be awesome in black! Don't have any other ideas though.

I think you may be making a mistake by making the entire wall brick. I like the black frame around the mirror, though! Love the wall color! How about crown molding? It would bring out the fireplace mantel and would give more depth to the room.

Have you considered the thing stacked stone? I bet that would look great!

Started reading ROOM this morning around 11:00...finished it about 5:00. Brilliant! Best I have read in a long, long time!
