I just love little antique fireplaces.
They are just perfect to tuck into a tiny little bedroom
a wee spot in the kitchen
or even in your bathroom~ what an indulgence!
I found this dainty charmer last year on craigslist when I purchased a set of
Swedish antique furniture for $200.
This old cast iron surround and mantel mirror were included
and I absolutely love them.
Originally, they were painted a delft blue color that didn’t really fit the colors in my house
so I knew that this little guy would get a little transformation before
it found a perfect spot in my home.
I have been painting away…
but it’s been such a crazy couple of weeks,
it’s not quite share worthy yet.
But I’ll share it in it’s new home soon!
Welcome to Feathered Nest Friday!
Here are just a few highlights from last weeks party!

What a beautiful fireplace. You have a lovely blog. Just linked up to your link party. Thanks for hosting.
A fireplace mantle soon becomes a focal point in any rooms decor. I love what you have done. Thanks for letting me link up. Richard at My Old Historic House.
WOnderful posts as always Courtney! That is amazing what Petite Cottage did with a sheet:)
That had to have been worth more than $200 just for the fireplace/mantle alone. I can't wait to see what you've done/where you've put it! Looks beautiful so far!
