I have been glaring at our fireplace with disdain for almost 3 years now. Why you ask? Those ugly strips of brass on the doors, that's why! I looked into replacing the doors but they are pretty expensive. One day as I was browsing my favorite blogs I stumbled on the answer! Kate at Centsational Girl posted about the same issues she had with her fireplace doors here. P.S. I LOVE her blog, you must follow her, truly inspirational for home decor!
Sorry for the flash but it was dark by the time I took the "after" picture.
