If you are a regular around Sweet Parrish Place, you have already seen my new AirStone Fireplace surround. Somebody stop me, I can’t keep from posting about this project! Today, I am here with a full tutorial for how I installed my fireplace surround. I will try my best to explain this step by step, but if you are planning on installing one, and have any questions for me, please don’t hesitate to ask me in the comments. I will answer back!
This project is one of my most favorite DIY projects to date, because it completely changed the whole look and feel of our living room!
To start these are the materials you will need to complete this project. It is really not a big list. You will of course need the AirStone, AirStone adhesive, a putty knife, and a hacksaw. That is it!
In the above picture you can see a close up of how we rigged things. We needed some wedges to stick in places to make things look level, so we cut up some pieces of cardboard (that happen to be stacked between each layer of stone in the packaging), and we used the cardboard to wedge in there wherever needed, all the way to the top, we used those wedges to keep things level.
This is a pulled back version to give you an idea of how we stabilized the stone at the top of the fireplace opening.
