Fireplace Before and After
This is such an amazing after, I can't believe it's even the same room! We ended up painting the great room, adding more craftsmen style trim around the windows & baseboards, and we completely changed the fireplace. It is so bright and beautiful now and my mantle is actually wide enough to actually decorate! You can get all the details on my blog: www.loveofhomes.com
This makeover completely transformed the whole room. I'm amazed at what even the paint did to change the feel of the room.
Here is our BEFORE...
Here is the AFTER...
We had our contractor do a planked craftsmen style fireplace surround. He did a beautiful job!
We changed our rounded pillars into more of a craftsmen style...They also match the fireplace too.
I found the herringbone tile at Lowes. It took our contractor and my husband a lot more time than they had expected. It was a little more difficult than regular tile, but it turned our gorgeous! For the edge of the hearth, they cut regular marble tile to go around the edge. Our contractor suggested that because the edge of the herringbone might not be as strong if you are sitting there. This was a good idea and looks pretty.
Our Herringbone tile and marble tile edging is from the Allen & Roth line at Lowes.

I don't think you can ever go wrong with adding more woodwork to a room! It adds so much character!
