I would like to start by saying this fireplace is over 125 years old and the only thing burned in it are candles.

The brick was covered in years of soot and ash. The hearth tiles were old and cracked and the color didn’t do anything to highlight the beautiful Victorian mantel.

Supplies needed are a quart of matte black paint (fire resistant paint if you use your fireplace), a foam roller, adhesive faux marble vinyl tile squares and a box cutter. For a more professional look lay tile on the diagonal.
Use vinyl flooring only on a non-working fireplace since it does not resist fire.

From Sad & Sooty to Seasonal Styled
To make this mantel holiday ready, I added garlands with gold and crystal beading for the foundation. Then, someone tucked small battery-operated lights in to add more sparkle. Additionally, someone placed mercury glass votives and French ribbon on the topiaries. For the hearth I added mercury glass trees in varying sizes with more votive candles for a Warm & Cozy feel. I hope you found this makeover inspiring! Warm wishes, Jenifer Dunn-Coen, Well Dunn Home Designs
