Soon after updating the paint and decor in our living room, we realized the original brick and tile of the fireplace didn’t really fit with the look we were going for. The color was a tinged orange and it was really worn out in spots. I saw a picture years ago of a carrera marble fireplace and kept the picture in the hopes that we could someday have one like it. Enter my husband’s friend Ami Mesner, an artist who owns the company Arteriors.  He promised he could transform our fireplace from blah to fantastic, and we took a chance. As you can see below from the before and after, the outcome is A-MAZ-ING.  We love the new look.
