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!

December 3, 2011 at 3:18 PMDebbie 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.

August 1, 2012 at 9:31 PMHow 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

August 1, 2012 at 9:33 PMI 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!!
