Here are some more before and after pictures of my house redo.....

Here is the before of the fireplace......

I finally put up a mantle, in time for Christmas.  It is a very simple one, but I like it.  I also wired in the sconces, they were a brass but it didn't match so I spray painted them black and the next step is to spray paint the gold fireplace.

Here are the sconces lighted up, they are so pretty and turned out so much better than I could ever have imagined.  I got them at Restore, the best place ever!!!
