You have to check out this fabulous DIY modern fireplace make over that can fit into anyone's budget! Using a grout technique Lauren achieved a plaster look on her dated brick fireplace for about $100!!!

I finally decided that it needed an update, and this thermostat cover, disguised as modern art is the perfect solution!
