A total fireplace transformation

LL Cool Homes
10 years ago
By removing the brick, filling in the center and retiling this fireplace has taken on a completely different and ultra modern look. The 12x24 tiles run vertical and feature a glass tile accent also running up the wall. Black paint makes the gray stand out even more. This gives a real WOW factor when people enter the room

    This is the best remodel on a fireplace I have ever seen. So creative, and clean. Love the tile you used. I hate brick fireplace. I get so many people asking me how to change a brick firepl. You have showed how to do it, and is beautiful job.

    OMG, I love this. I have a brick fireplace that we painted white many years ago. We converted it to gas a couple of years ago. I would love to just drywall the whole thing but when I see this, I'm inspired. You've done a wonderful job!

    All - thank you for your compliments. I have refaced many fireplaces and since I'm a flipper I always try to economize without sacrificing style so I have found tile is a great option. The main gray 12x24 tile is from Lowes and is pretty cheap, I think $2.99 if I recall. The glass tile which is $12/" - we use about 18". So other than labor the materials to tile are relatively inexpensive. Thank you all again. I love this fireplace as well but I love anything modern and unusual.

    Yes, it can see that. Glass mosaic or stone mosaic is always a decoration trend of fireplace surround, or kitchen back splash,bathroom. It's beautiful. The color and pattern are suitable for the surround environment.
