I think the problem you face is that the fire place is painted one colour in its entirety. If you break it down it consists of the top half which is mostly covered by the mirror, the wooden shelf and the bottom half. If you somehow restored the wooden shelf to actually be wood, paint the top half the colour of your walls and dedicated the accent colour to the bottom half it would all seem more cohesive with the rest of the space instead of appearing as one big barney blob. Anyways that’s just my two cents, I’m sure whatever you come up with will be amazing ❤
I love the brick inside her fireplace. When we downsized and moved into a small home built in the early 50s, I was so excited to expose a brick wall. My husband wanted to paint it, but I said no. Now he's really happy with it also. Designers are always talking about "bringing in texture." Nothing does that like brick! And Kelsey's brick is actually beautiful shades of a sort-of rose, nicer than mine. But I know she'll paint it....
same! I bought a house last year and guess what the sellers did RIGHR before listing. yup. painted the brick a boring white. I was so mad but too busy to strip it off
I like the idea of cleaning up the brick on the inside and then maybe tinting it a bit darker. Then mosaic on the floor outside! I think the mustard colour will get old fast and part of why it looks so good is because you were dying to change the purple colour! But I think what you said about the copper being really neutral will make it fit with the space in a more harmonious way rather than being a focal point! Just my two cents 😄
I’d leave the brick inside the fireplace as is, just use a transparent sealing product, it would stop the dust and would make the brick color look nicer. Providing it’s not a working fireplace of course.
RETURN to BRICK, NATURAL wood mantle, SEPARATE WALL COLOR over the fireplace if you paint the brick; KEEP interior PLAIN BRICK, SLATE for hearth. Stop making everything an element, make one part the star. Lose the big mirror. Imho. Sending love & prayers, have a blessed day 💖✝
that brick looks a lot more natural than the plaster. personally I would demo the front too to see if it reveals more brick. restored brick fireplace, wood mantel and painted the top chimney half in a colour you already have in your living room would look great.
Love the brick and interested to see the copper. While the individual tiles are very pretty, I hope she doesn’t go with the checkered. I know it’s popular, but I feel like it’s gonna age like Tuscan kitchens.
how about painting the mantle a different colour? I think it will look weird if it's copper and I don't know if the texture will look right on the molding
Could the entire fireplace be brick underneath that plaster. I mean the plaster has to be on something right? What was common construction practices of fireplaces at the time of the build? It would be fun to find out!
Maybe there's pictures in local libraries or plan & blueprints in the local government? 🤔 have you seen your neighbors fireplaces? Maybe reach out on a local neighborhood social media group and ask for pictures of other fireplaces to see what might be under there based on other people's fp photos. That could be an interesting segment!
The exposed bricks actually look pretty good and compliments the other flooring, i dig it but it takes away from the copper mantel... i cant decide which way to go🙈
I feel that the fireplace dominates the room and doesn't seem to go with the rest of it. Personally I'd either paint it the same as the walls or maybe a slightly darker shade of the same colour or else remove it entirely. I removed a non working fireplace from my lounge and it completely transformed the room.
That's what I was thinking. What's the point of a non-working fireplace in such an odd location. Just remove it and put a large mirror and some large plants in that place.
I still think she should keep it because it adds a statement as soon as you walk into the house, however I agree that she should paint it either the same color as the walls or shade of green like how she had it before since the whole room has green accents
Kelsey, I love your process. You take your time, weigh your options, and yet are not afraid of being different… this video was very soothing and calming to watch for me.
It’s always better safe than sorry and you set a great example for others to be aware watch for things like mold and other potential harmful substances in your home, especially during remodels. I’m glad it wasn’t but I am impressed that you took the initiative to have a professional check it out instead of assuming.👏🏼👏🏼
Okay imo- leave & seal the back brick, install a mosaic pattern on the hearth. I would extend the hearth’s width into the room more to make the proportions better, maybe remove 1-2 wood planks in that area. Paint the lower half of the fireplace a bold color, whatever you want, this could easily change whenever you feel like it. Take the mantle piece back to wood or paint it black to go with your other hardware. Then paint the top portion a warm, mid tone neutral. Either a warm white or a slightly darker version of the green/beige.
you should either clean it back to the raw brick and glaze it or tint it and then glaze it.and you should definitely paint the fire place copper it will ad some warmth
Leave the original color of the brick..it’s history of the house. And it’s hard to come by old brick that is in that good of condition. But that’s just me 😊
Right? and she said in a previous video he uses the kitchen up there for his stuff, and he was using up there as an office. Feels so separated now, I wonder if she regrets separating it like that.
I think she doesn’t actually mind. In another video she did a mini makeover for his space up there and has said before that it’s kinda nice for them to have separate spaces in the home
I was thinking that it would look lovely with the fireplace painted a darker green and the brick inside and the mantle painted copper. Then green and copper tiles on the hearth to pull it all together
I really thought bf would’ve chosen the black and the black would have looked great with the exposed brick. Finish off the brick and just seal it plus add a wooden trim around the hearth to “level” the wood floor and brick area. Any just an idea 😅
It’s funny that you keep giving him spaces to decorate and opportunities for input and he just chooses whatever’s easiest 😂 Everything solid lol. I feel your struggle trying to explain design principles to your partner. When someone doesn’t have as much exposure to different styles, it can seem like they don’t bring their own taste to the table, just “no”s to everything you suggest (at least for me). I admire that you are putting so much effort in coaxing input out of him.
I love green too. And I always have problems with choosing the right one. The lighter green you have I would like to know the color name and brand. I like seeing how it’s ok to refresh a room and what you choose doesn’t have to be forever unless you want it to be. It was fun to see Elliot have fun in the Barney costume.
If it's possible to clean the brick (or stain/paint), don't you think it would be possible to keep it on the floor with a nice trim ? Maybe a copper trim? 😏But I don't know if it's worth it, or if it would go with the style of your home. Concerning the color of your fireplace, I would concider painting two different colors? I think the block dark color takes a lot of attention, on this wall, which does'nt have a lot to catch the attention (meaning contrary to if there was two high bookshelves on each side, for example). Anyways, I am sure you will do something stunning as usual! 🌟 Excited to see how it will turn out! 🤩
I appreciate how candid you are with your design journey. It is OK to try something, live with it and then decide you don't love it. Then you get to try something new. Very inspirational and motivational.
The mirror is way too big for the fireplace in my opinion. And i agree with all the comments to paint above the mantle a different colour to below. Something closer to the wall colour so it looms a bit less
Okay hear me out but what about paining the brick a complementing colour to the tile. For e.g white brick with black n white tile or green tile with black brick or neutral coloured tiled with the mosaic. Orrr keep the original brick cleaned up a bit with the green tile :))
I hope you tint the brick (it's lovely and has serious potential). I may be boring, but I also liked the middle tile option. No matter the decision I really enjoy the Making Home series. :)
K! I need this video of the chair being dyed. I have one I was about to spray with a bunch of upholstery dye...so before I do something I'll regret, I wanna watch someone else figure it out first 😅
I assume this is no longer a working fireplace. I would refinish the interior brick to a darker shade and seal it. Paint the upper portion a lighter shade, refinish the mantle to a rich wood tone and paint the bottom portion in the copper. Actually, I would take off ALL the plaster and go for the otiginal brick, but that's me, not Kelsey.
I would clean the brick first and see how saturated the colors are. I do absolutely LOVE the brick. I think the copper ( which was my choice as well) will go beautifully with it.
Right away I was rooting for antique tile design and the lovely copper color. I haven't watched it all the way through yet, so I am excited to see the final choices. But I totally agree with Elliot, I never liked the deep burgundy color.
My grandpa was a professional house carpenter and built my cottage. When he installed our brick fireplace he hated the red brick, so he took black paint and carefully tinted the bricks to distress them. This was in the1950s, so if you have an older section of the house with an older fireplace that could look quite nice!
Mason pros say that you shouldn't paint brick because apparently brick needs to breath. They recommend tinting instead, but I might do some research into that and sealing it just to be sure you're not gonna ruin that brick in the long run.
I love brick ..❤️ more brick, it gives testure, class. And parhaps different mirror ..or add frame...it looks like fake fireplace, to plastici, and all is organic and classy, Chic in your home.... This is defintly working progress... Prahap couple off coper schels behind next to fireplace to make it more balanced conected....
I think I may have seen someone on TikTok stain their old crusty brick with wood stain to make it look really nice again but I could be wrong 🤔 something to look into for the inside!
I'd go charcoal (not quite black) with copper accents and match the tile to the entry. OR I'd go back to a green. One of the issues is that the space is SO cohesive EXCEPT the fireplace. So it sticks out. You need an element that ties it in.
I think it's a sin to fully paint brick, so I vote clean it up or tinting/staining it (I don't have a problem with tinting if you use proper brick tint cause it keeps the brick porus and alive), but I know I'm a minority as well so 🙃🤷🏻 ..... I also vote checkered
Your choices are beyond safe, they're kind of mid. Also you should definitely separate the top and the bottom fireplace. If you just painted the top the same color as the rest of the room, you would have solved most of the problem. Maybe do the ceiling too. Also maybe you just needed a punchier green to balance the purple, like a lime color almost. So many options but take some damn chances
Think a faux wood beam mantal would add to it..maybe a Franklin electric stove in the insert,leaving the brick natural making your fireplace a statement piece in the home
I’m begging TSG to clearly label their makeover videos “part 1” whenever they don’t feature a final reveal. Or at least let us know earlier on in the video instead of in the final few seconds!
I'm noticing everything in your room is a solid color. The only thing I saw that has a print, was one checkered pillow. Everything is solid on solid on solid. I think you need to incorporate a more decorative vintage tile and do a fun print on the chair. The rooms needs some texture/prints.
Your dynamic with your boyfriend is really strange. You lack personality and seem bossy. I love watching the other sorry girls but you don't do it for me.
I've watched you guys for years now, but the way the videos have been dragging lately is not fun. Why isn't the whole project in one video? There isn't anything interesting in this part of the process at all.
I love that you revealed the brick, and like the idea of cleaning it up to tint it, maybe a bit darker brown over brick red. More chocolatey color would work well with the copper paint color, I loved that idea, but maybe just under the mantle and wall color behind the mirror. I feel like it cuts off the wall color as is rather than extending it around the room.
Why are you focused on painting the entire fireplace one heavy color? Keep the heavy color on the bottom half and paint above the mantle the wall color. Also I want to see if the whole fireplace is brick, would love that look more.

I also envisioned two different colors for top and bottom.
Oh man thats an amazing idea!!!
Absolutely, the problem with Kelsey design concept of the chimeney is not color, it's the distribution of color 100%
1000% agree
Never thought of this but I think you’re sooo right!
Ok but wait is the entire fireplace secretly brick?? I would be chipping away all of the plaster XD

Right 😄
No, not everyone, Barney creeps me out. Hated the show and that obnoxious voice.

💯 You took the words straight out my mouth !!
So glad that you had the black stuff checked. Yeah it may feel silly but well worth it to have the piece of mind of knowing that it isn't mold.
agreed
It already has been three years? Omg I've been watching since day one hahaha
awe
I was 26? Wow. I sound so young. Huh
Same, I can't believe it! Time flies!
The mustard is really quite nice, but I fear it'll feel old right away, where the copper, I think, will feel a bit more vintage-ish as it ages.
It's the season for mustard right now because it's autumn, but I feel like as soon as this winter it'll get old as well.
@@skylarsa And mustard has been trendy recently. Which means it will look dated very soon. I'm already tired of it.

Could not have said it better. I've been wondering why I couldn't get behind any of the choices she offered.
This is the way!
YES! She's so committed to a single color, and her track record for picking colors...not stellar.
that brick looks a lot more natural than the plaster. personally I would demo the front too to see if it reveals more brick. restored brick fireplace, wood mantel and painted the top chimney half in a colour you already have in your living room would look great.
Yes!
Option B green! The brick is beautiful. I feel like the inner brick needs a little gloss and that's it. I seriously gasped!
Love the brick and interested to see the copper. While the individual tiles are very pretty, I hope she doesn’t go with the checkered. I know it’s popular, but I feel like it’s gonna age like Tuscan kitchens.
Agreed. Also for a second my brain read that as “Tuscan kittens” 🤣😜
Checkers are absolutely going to age like Tuscan kitchens!
how about painting the mantle a different colour? I think it will look weird if it's copper and I don't know if the texture will look right on the molding
The way Elliot was checking you out in Barney outfit was everything 😂😂

I think the checkered option is best followed closely by the green. I have a feeling you picked green because of the green chair.
i'm lowkey wondering how they're going to redo the upstairs now that her partner's moved in
Right? and she said in a previous video he uses the kitchen up there for his stuff, and he was using up there as an office. Feels so separated now, I wonder if she regrets separating it like that.
@@skylarberry3754yes! exactly what i was wondering too. kind of a weird layout now, having it be literally two different apartments but in one...

It will be more time consuming but I'd say clean the brick.
I also hated it, sorry 😂 I’m not a brown paint person, brown leather and wood sure, love it!
Also I wrote this comment before I saw that you went with “copper”… girl that is a different shade of brown! 😂

He is right in a way, fireplace is Barney, but is lesa wibrint colours, thanks for putting on costume.
No tile. Fully restore the brick! There’s enough tile content.
Oh what the hell Kelsey!! Lol we wanna see the reveal!
Controversial opinion: ditch the fireplace and use the space. Built in bookshelves all along the wall and a couple comfy chairs?
No, but that olive green... I know that would have been my choice ! Can't wait to see the results :)
I loved that green and also the dark colour swatch that was to the left of it.
I appreciate how candid you are with your design journey. It is OK to try something, live with it and then decide you don't love it. Then you get to try something new. Very inspirational and motivational.
The mosaique option of course!
No ring, no say
Would love to see the mantle piece a different colour from the rest of the fire place. Maybe wood or stone to match your tile choice.
The mirror is way too big for the fireplace in my opinion. And i agree with all the comments to paint above the mantle a different colour to below. Something closer to the wall colour so it looms a bit less
Cold shot….roommate? Why can’t the mantle be different color. I don’t like that mirror either.
If it isn't a working fireplace why wouldnt you get rid of it? It ruins the potential for that space.
I agree. If it's not a fireplace, then clear it out & use the space for something else. The existing space looks like unbalanced, wasted space.
Can't wait to see the result! I'm really a fan of this series, the vibes is just so good!
next week!!!!
Okay hear me out but what about paining the brick a complementing colour to the tile. For e.g white brick with black n white tile or green tile with black brick or neutral coloured tiled with the mosaic. Orrr keep the original brick cleaned up a bit with the green tile :))
I hope you tint the brick (it's lovely and has serious potential). I may be boring, but I also liked the middle tile option. No matter the decision I really enjoy the Making Home series. :)
K! I need this video of the chair being dyed. I have one I was about to spray with a bunch of upholstery dye...so before I do something I'll regret, I wanna watch someone else figure it out first 😅
Demo the fireplace, you don’t need it, and it is a gigantic eyesore in your room.
I assume this is no longer a working fireplace. I would refinish the interior brick to a darker shade and seal it. Paint the upper portion a lighter shade, refinish the mantle to a rich wood tone and paint the bottom portion in the copper.
Actually, I would take off ALL the plaster and go for the otiginal brick, but that's me, not Kelsey.
I would clean the brick first and see how saturated the colors are. I do absolutely LOVE the brick. I think the copper ( which was my choice as well) will go beautifully with it.
I like the color before but you want to charge so copper Will be nice 😍
Copper paint with the green tile!
Right away I was rooting for antique tile design and the lovely copper color. I haven't watched it all the way through yet, so I am excited to see the final choices. But I totally agree with Elliot, I never liked the deep burgundy color.
Clean the brick and tint it. 👍🏻
Love the brick!!!.. I would thry to keep it
Copper please. The ‘mustard’ will be cloying after a short while. The ‘green’ tile will transition nicely to the wall and chair.
I wonder if the whole thing is brick? Would be really cool!
My grandpa was a professional house carpenter and built my cottage. When he installed our brick fireplace he hated the red brick, so he took black paint and carefully tinted the bricks to distress them. This was in the1950s, so if you have an older section of the house with an older fireplace that could look quite nice!
Keep the brick make it lighter and paint the fireplace copper.The other tile makes no sense ,with the brick inside.
gotta try victor and rolf's flowerbomb if you haven't
Tile option B, clean up the brick is what I would do. Not sold on the copper, but see what it looks like.
23 minutes and only in the last few did you slap some paint on. Kinda over your videos of late and how utterly dull they are. Get on with it.
Never feel dumb being cautious!
Don’t like when the videos are split up!😢
I don't like any of the tiles, I would keep the brick and solve the level problem with the wood floor someway, maybe with a trim?
Mason pros say that you shouldn't paint brick because apparently brick needs to breath. They recommend tinting instead, but I might do some research into that and sealing it just to be sure you're not gonna ruin that brick in the long run.

It’ll be cool to feature more of Elliot in your videos! He seems to have a low key sense of humor that's seldom captured on videos!
I would love to see if the whole fireplace is brick, idk if you would have been adventurous and kept going!
Mosaic would be my choice.
Ok I am loving the brick as is. Maybe more of a clean-up (can’t see it in person) but why would you mess with original gorgeous brick.
Clean the brick. It will look amazing.
I think I may have seen someone on TikTok stain their old crusty brick with wood stain to make it look really nice again but I could be wrong 🤔 something to look into for the inside!
Is it used as a fireplace if not why keep it ,will painting the fireplace redefine the area , it is flat on the wall.
I'd go charcoal (not quite black) with copper accents and match the tile to the entry. OR I'd go back to a green. One of the issues is that the space is SO cohesive EXCEPT the fireplace. So it sticks out. You need an element that ties it in.
You probably have a vintage fireplace behind the current one!! It was common in the 80s to cover original fireplaces.
I think it's a sin to fully paint brick, so I vote clean it up or tinting/staining it (I don't have a problem with tinting if you use proper brick tint cause it keeps the brick porus and alive), but I know I'm a minority as well so 🙃🤷🏻 ..... I also vote checkered

I'm willing to guess you'll choose checked tile.
I vote try to restore the brick and maybe tint it! It's so pretty
Who's with me? Elliott shouldn't make any more design decisions unless theyve been pre-approved by the Sorry Girls....
Yes?
Think a faux wood beam mantal would add to it..maybe a Franklin electric stove in the insert,leaving the brick natural making your fireplace a statement piece in the home
is this a safe place to say I don’t like him at ALL
when I saw the base color, my immediate thought was “oh no! It’s the poop bathroom again!” 😜🤣

Is this the video that was called like "my boyfriends doesn't like my chimney" or something like that?
clean it!!!!
First of all, he's a full sized dinosaur
First make the copper paint on the fire place then go with the last option the gray mosaic
I love watching you d.i.y. but often wonder if your favourite colour is 50 shades of poop😉.
L9ve the natural brick as ALL colours earthy/warm/cool colour go with it, but once you've painted them then there's no going back.
