I wish I had a better before pic of my mantle, I’m lucky to even have this one because I was so excited to get on this project I almost forgot to take one at all. It’s amazing how much lighter and brighter this white paint has made my house, I am loving it. Just for reference I bought 1 gallon of bright white paint from beyond paint and so far I have been able to paint my kitchen cabinets, guest bath cabinets and mantle with it, It’s amazing how far this paint has gone. I am really impressed! Hubby is starting to worry that I am going to paint every wooded surface in my house, and I’m not going to lie, I think about all the things I could paint ,there really isn’t a safe piece of wood in this house! stay tuned for stair railings and master bath updates 😛
