My DH and I just bought a new house (woo!) and I'm already thinking about what I want to do to decorate it.

One big eyesore is the brick fireplace... both DH and I don't like it. However, I think it would look great whitewashed! DH doesn't think the whitewashing would look good but he doesn't have another solution lol.

Have any of you whitewashed your fireplace? Did either you or your husband have some hesitations but then loved the final result? I'd love to see pics too!!

(none of the furniture in the top pic is ours, just focus on the fireplace)
