I like this idea.  I think I might do it in my family room.

Have a great Monday everyone!  I’m painting the final coat on my family room built-ins today.  I think the mantle is next!  I’m loving the contrast of these black mantles… what do you think?

  2. Same with me on the second room - it's gorgeous! Maybe it's the dark floors, I dunno...

  3. Very graphic - I love the idea of a matte black mantle with beautiful millwork!

  6. i looooove black mantles. Oddly enough i was looking at faux ones yesterday after we painted our front door black...sort if to tie things together!
    If you have a real fireplace, i say go for it! I would literally have to buy a faux one...or a mantle. :))) But i dont think it would look that bad.

  11. Adds nice drama to the fireplace. Black makes nearly everything better!

  12. I painted my mantel black a few months ago...I'm still on the fence about it. But only because the brick below it is still raw...haven't decided what color to paint it, so the whole thing looks a little unfinished. Thise pics are gorgeous...love the look!
