From Bad to Better

When Jayme bought her house it was heated by a 50 year old wall furnace.  (Not going to work for my baby!)  Since she had such a small house and a smaller budget, she decided to go with radiant heat.  This heater does a fantastic job heating her entire house...It is also extremely cost effective.  We wanted to make it look like less of an eyesore...This is what we came up with......

Before

After--She has since added a cute scrolly fireplace screen.  We plan to add a small hearth.

We used dark stain on boards, painted them white, and then sanded.  Todd then attached them to the wall.  We wanted it to look a little like lathe.  He trimmed the edges and attached the heater. Simple as that!
