The paint is Benjamin Moore HC-82 (Bennington Gray). The curtains are from Target– Color: Rocky River. Super Cheap. Both rugs and the bird pillow are from Target, too. The coffee table was from a thrift shop. I love Meredith’s suggestion to paint it white. BTW, my favorite spray paint color (as seen on the chair and its 6 buddies I painted) is Heirloom White “Painter’s Touch” by Rust-oleum. That’s a whole lot of fun in a $3 can. I love Young House Love and I can’t wait to see more transformations here.

P.S. The worst part of redoing this room was getting rid of the textured ceiling. I got it tested for asbestos and found that there were trace elements of asbestos(less than 1%), but that still counted as asbestos. It looked like a scene out of ET here– men in space suits, etc. to get rid of it. While most of this room was done on the cheap, that part was pricey.

Hey Brooke,

The shelves on either side of the fireplace, also known as etageres, were actually from JC Penney a while back. We posted about them when they went on clearance and Anna snatched them up for her space! Here’s the old post with the link, although they might not still be available:

If not it might help to google “white etagere” or search Target or JC Penney for an “etagere.” Hope it helps!

The room looks great! I love how the fireplace stands out now!

Hey guys,

We’ve dropped Anna a line to let her know that there are a few questions about her space over here. Hopefully she’ll pop in with the answers asap!

I am PRO painting the fireplace, myself. However, it still looks great with all your other changes. Either way you decide, the room will look amazing.

Great job!!
