Living Room Fireplace

We've purchased a few Art Deco styled items for the Living Room.  It's all coming together now!
 
and here we have the finished article in cream stone effect and metallic grey (still looking for a new carpet).  The double socket will be moved soon to give a more even sided look.
 
 
 
None of the pictures taken really bring out the stone effect of the spray paint, this is the best one



The fire surround was dismantled pretty easily and it's component parts were sanded down, sprayed with a white primer then given two coats of textured spray paint to create a stone effect.

 
The inset fireplace was removed from the surround, dismantled, rubbed down and spray painted metallic grey.  The finish was a bit too matt, but a quick spray of clear lacquer put a bit of a shine on the finished article.
 
The original fireplace which was here when we moved in.  It was in good condition but the brass and mahogany colour scheme didn't fit with our décor plans, so we decided to keep it and change the colour.
