Fire Fox!

 May 25, 2011

Better After reader Deb had a fireplace that was practically begging out loud for an upgrade.  "Looooook at me!  Look right here!  Look at this big, blank space around me!  There is major personality potential here in this region that I am wildly gesturing toward with my imaginary hands!"

Deb heard its cries, and in just a few short hours the fireplace gained a shiny new surround and lost its inferiority complex!  Great work Deb!

That's a BIG change. I had to scroll up and down a couple of times because I kept thinking "how did she make it larger?". Love the color too!

New England Yellow (sold at Lowes) You have to have them look it up, they removed the swatch

Debbie here - walls are New England Yellow (American Traditions at Lowes) The store no longer has the paint chip but it is in the computer. It was a signature Waverly color.

New England Yellow (Lowes/American Traditions/Waveryly) Have them look it up if the chip is gone.

How did you cut the tile? I want to do the exact thing on my fireplace surround and I've never tiled before. Have ordered the tile from glass tile oasis...cannot wait!
Thanks

I love this!!! How did you cut the tile? I plan to do the same exact thing on my fireplace surround but have never tiled before. How long did this take? Did you use a notched rim trowel? I was told the ridges would show through the glass? HELP!!
