That didn't work! How bout this....

that70shouse- I'm interested in seeing your photos so let me tell you how I (eventually) figured out how to post photos using Tinypic. There is no prompt on forum site, FYI. 1. Go to www.tinypic.com 2. Select the photo from your computer using the browse button. 3. On the drop down for resize select "Website/Email" 4. Check the box for "send it via email" so you can keep track of the links later and enter your email or don't if you'd rather not have them have your email (though I've yet to get spam from them) 5. Hit upload and it will take you to a page with a bunch of links for you to copy, IMPORTANT: choose HTML for websites! NOT message board or email. Copy the link from the box and paste it into your post. 6. We then marvel at your mad decorating skillz!

Without being able to see all of it - and what surrounds it - it's hard to say. But, I agree, the white mantel isn't doing it any favors.

What? Faux wood tile as a hearth? The brick is still way too busy, and. The faux wood is worse. Paint the brick so the grout lines disappear.
