I decided instead of replacing it and spending probably $100, I should try painting it black to match all of our other fireplace accessories. Luke bought a can of High Heat Rust-Oleum in black and I painted away. It worked wonderfully and only cost $15.
Interesting note: you can't buy spray paint in Chicago. Apparently it's been banned since 1995....
Here is the before and after. What a difference paint makes!
Happy painting!
Well, that’s an interesting piece of information. It kinda makes you wonder why spray paints were banned in the first place. Anyway, that simple paint job did wonders for the fireplace screen! It provides a nice contrast against the light-colored fireplace, and I’m sure it looks lovely when you have the fire going. Thanks for sharing your mini-makeover, Kelley! Cheers!
