Valerie’s classic white fireplace has a wooden floating mantel which is adorned with a large black framed mirror, three clay vessels, and a vase filled with large branches. A dracaena trifasciata plant sits in a black pot hearthside opposite the wooden log crate. Molly McGinness, interior designer and owner of Molly McGinness Interior Design, shares her thoughts on updating a fireplace: “A fresh white paint can really brighten up an eyesore. Even a dark charcoal can help diminish an outdated fireplace for a dark and moody design scheme.”
