I decided to go ahead and paint the fireplace since the tile had a couple of chips. The white on the wood and the white on the tile were conflicting anyways. I glued wood chips onto the old fireplace screen and it was finished!
I had help getting the wood chips cut (the saw kept throwing the logs across the garage). You can also purchase some online through etsy or craft stores if you don't feel comfortable cutting the small logs. I think small or large wood chips would look good. I just used what we had available.

Next on the list with the fireplace is adding two small built-ins to house the tv necessities!
