Rustic Style Basement Makeover
Add country charm with a painted faux-brick wall.
To create interest in between two doors, Meg had a timeworn, faux-brick wall installed. She then mounted a vintage mantel in front and painted it all out in white. To create the look of a working fireplace, she cut out a portion of the insert, painted it black and then piled up birch logs to fill the space. The light fixture was found in a neighbour's trash bin and given a new life with nickel plating and tailored shades, while the stunning side tables were a steal at a local flea-market. Layering a cowskin over a chunky jute rug adds a layer of warmth, and ties in with the neutral palette.
