Dream Mantle
Feb 22, 2010
Here is a fireplace redo for your viewing pleasure. This fabulous mantle comes to us from Mikael from Starter Home to Dream Home. She went for a "less is more" approach in the tile department and ripped out those big boring tiles in favor of smaller more colorful tiles, which make a way bigger impact. And the new moulding is the perfect finishing touch, making it look like an honest to goodness mantle, and not a fireplace jammed into a random corner.
Spelling question: Mantel or Mantle? From what I hear, they're both right...

Both are technically right. However, when I see 'mantle', I usually think of a cloak, such as a 'cloaked in a mantle of darkness'.
The fireplace looks 100 times better after!

I actually like both of them!
Very Pretty, Interestin, I just redid my fireplace. Besides being in the middle of the room, our before pictures are almost identical, even the color of brown paint! I love seeing your before and afters! I spell it mantel.
Very nice, beautiful job well done.
I think it's beautiful. I wonder what is going to go above it now -- will the TV go back up there?
The after is not awkward like the first one and I LOVE the tile chosen. Very nice job.
Love it!!! I have a corner fireplace as well and want to do something different. Very inspirational!
All I can say is...OH WOW!!!
