Decorative Fireplace Renovation
The fireplace is sometimes known as the warm heart of the home, and our client had a clear vision of what she wanted her home’s heart to look like. The bricks in the fireplace had previously been badly water damaged, so she had hired masons to line the interior of the fireplace with a wire mesh. Then, they put stucco on the walls to prepare the fireplace for thin bricks and decorative tiles to be installed- this is when we came in.
Our client's initial sketch
The client knew exactly what she wanted- she sent us sketches and gave us a list of materials, which included Endicott Thin Brick and Tiles and Black Grout from Devon Tile. The project took a total of only four days to create a quality renovation . The materials chosen were Endicott’s Thin Brick in Manganese Ironspot (smooth texture), 6x6 decorative tiles, black grout between the tiles, and black mortar between the bricks.

The level of detail that our client focused on was very important to her. As with any design, details and intricacies add a tasteful touch to a space.

Hello Dremodeling,
15 Jun 2012 17:45I know what you mean, A fireplace mantle can become a great stage for decorating in your home. In most homes, the fireplace is at center stage in the living room area, den, or master bedroom. And because it is at center stage, it becomes a great place to flex your decorating muscle. Most fireplaces have a mantle over them that provide ample space for all kinds of items. A decorated fireplace mantle can be a great place to showcase the seasons or recent family celebrations in photos.
