      Thank U! I was so nervous about doing it and i ended up repainting it to get the look i wanted but I'm so glad I went for it.

    it looks awesome! i have an oak fireplace surround / mantle around our gas firebox, which i would love to paint white. Does the paint need to be fire retardant? i would also want to insert tiles exactly where you tiled your fireplace .

      Thanks for your reply Kristi. i will only be painting the oak surround and i think one of the paint companies has white in their fire retardant line. I will check it out :)
