Minty Fresh

IMHO, the best part about cooler weather is the coziness that accompanies the chilly nights — furry blankets, hot drinks and a crackling fire. The fireplace, which sits silent for so much of the year, comes to life in all its blazing glory.

I can’t get enough of painted brick fireplaces. They’re fresh and stylish yet classic and timeless. In the above example, mint shelves flank a painted white brick fireplace, lending a splash of color to the space. A matching mint green mantel ties the look together.

Check out 14 more fresh fireplaces and prepare for some major #fireplaceenvy.
