I felt like the kitchen needed a better "style personality" to match the rest of the townhouse. So I imagined that this kitchen would have a over mantle that once was fireplace around the stove. I started with leftover scraps: trim from Michaels, decorative brackets from another build and some small lumber from Hobby Lobby and a texture painted and grouted plastic brick sheet. It is unpainted until I decide on the kitchen's color scheme.
