That paint color & your accessories make the tiles look fresh again. Very nice!

Perfect! You did a greally good job. Love the mantel!

Is this a working FP? If so, why not put regular logs in it instead of fake ones?

You did a nice job, and that terra cotta paint color should draw the eye. Hope you are enjoying your new home!!

Yes it is a working fireplace, but we live in California so the logs would be mostly decorative for most of the year. On days actually cold enough to want a fire, there is almost always a "spare the air" day and burning is banned! I am also very allergic to smoke which always makes its way inside even from a properly vented fire. So as much as I love the ambiance, it will probably only be lit for special occasions. I may burn some gel fuel cans in there behind the logs, too.

Thanks for the feedback :)

The color is BM Mexicana, BTW, with Mascarpone on the neutral walls. The tile I don't love it but it blends a bit more with the new paint color and the mantel. I am going for a Spanish Mission style since the townhouse is mission style with red tile roof and off white stucco exterior!

You did a great job; what an improvement. Love the horse with the wall color and tile - perfect!

Before, the fireplace seemed kind of lost in the corner. Now it really draws the eye and becomes a warm and lively focal point. You must be so happy with the change!
