Fireplace Makeover : The Final Reveal

Welcome to all those of you visiting from our feature on Apartment Therapy! Such an honor to have you here today!

Finally!!!!

Thank you for following along with us as we tackled our fireplace makeover!

It has truly been a labor of love that has changed my whole opinion about this space!

So, it wouldn't do much good to show you an after without taking a trip down memory lane, now would it?

Here's what the fireplace looked like when we moved in...

Dark walls, dark trim and a big boxy dark fireplace with orange tile. Not exactly our style.

When we left off  last week I had just finished tiling the fireplace hearth and surround. It was looking a little janky to say the least.

No fear tho!
