Before and After

I want to begin by saying that we love our house, and I do not want to sound the least bit unthankful in this post.  But, like all houses, there are improvements we would like to make.  Our house was an estate sale purchase in a round about way (complicated but boring story).  The last, and only family, to live in it before us was an elderly couple, therefore it can be concluded that some updates are to be desired. Although, we are very grateful that everything is in working order, and the only changes we might make are cosmetic.  Here is a small, inexpensive, quick, easy change we made, that I think makes a big difference:

Please ignore the decor on the mantle.  Its the only close up picture of my fireplace, decorated for a baby shower.  
Before:

After:
(Obviously the Christmas decor is only temporary.  I took this on my phone just for this, so it isn't the best quality. )


You really can't see the full effect this close u, but I have more "before and after" posts up my sleeve for this same room, and don't want to give anything away.
Hope everyone had a good Christmas, we certainly did!
