Mantel Face Lift

If you have moved into a new home in the past 10 years maybe more...you should be use to the dull boring plain white/cream mantel. It seems to just get lost when painted the same color as the trim. I just had a recent client who could not vision a glazed mantel, lucky for them they trust my vision and it really turned out great. My first suggestion for any mantel is to paint it another color like black, red, anything different and eye catching but if that is too daring for you maybe you should consider glazing. something that can be done in one afternoon by yourself or a professional. You really can not mess it up and it is easy to create that custom look.
