Is A Black Fireplace My Final Descent into Goth?

November 15, 2016 · In: House Buying Tips, Interior Design

 Top Black Fireplace :: House of Valentina

When we moved to Copenhagen I didn’t own a single piece of black clothing.  Fast forward six years and about 3/4 of my wardrobe is black.  I’ve painted my living room black, my studio an almost black grey, and I’ve even started painting my nails black.  I’ve gone to the dark side.

When I started contemplating a black fireplace, I wondered if this was my final descent into goth.

I once heard someone say that wearing black was a sign of depression.  If that is true then there are a lot of depressed Europeans (and New Yorkers, too!)  Personally, I am of the persuasion that black is a sign of sophistication.  It adds warmth to a room and a touch of grandeur.  It’s like a classic black blazer that goes with everything.  Dress it up or get cozy.  Either way, black is forever.

If you like a black fireplace, consider painting your own mantel and even the wall behind it.  You could also order a new mantel.  There are loads of marble antique mantels available.  An electric fireplace could be an easy fix!

But don’t let me be the judge.  Take a peek and see if you love a black fireplace…

    So funny you are mentioning black fireplaces now. For the last year I have been going back & forth about painting mine. My husband doesn’t really like the idea…But I am going for it:-) Right now have a very boring classic white Fireplace surround. I just want a little more pop & drama. Before Christmas I will be painting the brick inside/around white and the mantel and molding black. It’s only paint right? My advice would be to GO for it Valentina!

I spent the morning foraging in the backyard… it I spent the morning foraging in the backyard… it’s bursting with hydrangea, dripping with figs (sadly for us our pet deer have helped themselves to the blueberries and blackberries 😅) but I had this moment as I was filling my vases with my bounty from my own backyard… I just smiled and felt so utterly happy- summer may just be my favorite season after all! 

What is your favorite part of summer?! 

With the weekend ahead we’ve got Prosecco and summer charcuteries on our agenda, plus a few mean rounds of cornhole with the boys! We might even squeeze in lounging in the sun, baking a blueberry crumble (with blueberries from the grocery store!), and just generally unwinding and soaking up these summer days! Happy weekend XxV
