Deployment Project # 82
TILED FIREPLACE
There wasn't really anything wrong with my fireplace before...other than it was cookie cutter/builder grade fireplace.
Just boring.
I wanted to liven it up a little.
Here is what it looked like before....(this was the only picture I could find, and there happens to be a chair sitting in front of it..sorry)
Here is the tile I picked out to use. It comes in 12x12 sheets at Lowe's for about $10 a piece. I think I ended up using 8 sheets for this project.
Putting the tile in was MUCH easier than I thought. I used THIS tutorial as a guide to get me started.
Once I was finished, I still didn't like the out-dated brass on the door.
So, I taped all around the fireplace and carefully spray painted the brass!
Now I have a "new" fireplace to sit and enjoy!!!!
I love the way the new tile adds character to my living room!

Love it! We're looking at updating our fireplace, too, so this was especially great to read! It's beautiful!
I love it. As usual. Very eye catching.
Very impressive! I've thought about trying this on our fireplace. You've got me hooked! Nice job, very warm and cozy feeling.

That's looks great!
