Imposter Mantle goes bye-bye


We thought the fireplace mantle was ugly and stone,but as it turns out it was ugly and wood! It seems that the previous owners distressed a piece of wood and then covered it with gray flecked spray paint to make it look like stone. Why? Oh why? The real kicker is that they sprayed it AFTER they had already attached it to the brick fireplace wall. So, there is overspray on all of the bricks and I have to remove it! Argh, paint removal is one of my chores. Darn.

Once we discovered that the stone mantle was in fact an imposter...she was a goner. Off you go for your Sunday (trash day)departure. R.I.P.
