That’s the question.. Well, this is after about 30 seconds of trying out my new cloths.. Yup.

I slapped on two coats of Martha Stewart’s Heath.The same color I used for the back of my shelf in the living room..

When it was all done, not only did I have a nice back drop to frame whatever seasonal delights I’ll be putting up there, but I realized that that’s also probably where some molding would be if we had a real mantel here.. It’s not a trompe l’oeil or anything.You don’t actually think there’s any molding there, but it kind of hints at the idea and adds a bit of a richness to a sad-looking wall none-the-less.. I’ve been up to my elbows in beadboard painting this weekend, but maybe next weekend I’m thinking I may add a few more squares of paint to some other walls.It’s a really quick project you can do on commercial breaks when you’re watching your favorite show and it has such a big impact on a room.
