polished marble tile fireplace surround
Okay, I was happy about the ceramic tile, but I’m completely thrilled about the marble around the fireplace. This is one of those things that came out looking better than I planned it. We took a lot of time working out the fireplace surround dimensions, because I knew I wanted to use polished marble tile around the opening. And I wanted the look to be whole tiles as much as possible. So we told the builder this early on in the project, and the trim carpenters really came through for us–this looks as good as any of the high-end homes we’ve been in. The tile looked somewhat darker in the showroom, but I’m still thrilled with the look of this. The polished marble gives a real elegance to the fireplace surround.
Enough yapping, let’s see some pictures of this:


Having the tiles mostly intact is a big win for me. It took some forethought, but we were pretty adamant about it early on. Even if you use ceramic tile, having as few cut down tiles as possible really adds to the look of a fireplace.

Fireplace aside (which looks A1!) the colour on the walls looks really good too. Shades all nicely tie in together, and it does come off in the few pics as being pretty elegant! Which room is that in, by the by?
