Faux Fireplace

These crazy double arches are what drew me to the new house initially. But I could never really bear the white of one and the wood of the other with that crazy faux fireplace in between.
I painted the wooden arch white to match the smaller arch. I took some old recycled gray paint added some water and softly painted that orange faux brick. I thought it turned out ok.
But I still wasn't happy with the fake wood. My youngest mentioned he wanted a fishtank for his birthday and I wanted it down low enough he could help take care of the fish without risk of tipping the tank over. The cats are delighted and love to lay in front of the tank and watch the fish!
