Hi everyone, it's Heather from home-modern.com. Thanks for all of your wonderful comments about the fireplace's makeunder. It was a huge (and heavy) job, but we love the results.

To answer some of the questions and comments:
1) The hearth is not raised in the "After" shot, although it's hard to see among the sea of green tiles, which we removed from the face of the fireplace, the raised hearth and the surrounding floor (it was taking over!).

2) We'd love to put a mantle on it someday. We're torn between a thick, natural wood slab that we could salvage and repurpose, or a more vintage Victorian mantle we could gloss paint. We settled on the slick white paint over the top of it to cover the cement (and some glue remnants) and make it palatable for our July house wedding.

If you have any other questions about the project, feel free to comment on any of my homepage posts about the project.

Thanks everyone!

Heather
