The mantle has been a work in progress for a while now.
We weren't going to put a fireplace in at the beginning, and then I'm not really sure what happened. We slipped a fireplace in and then decided to hold off on finishing it until we closed/moved in. Well, that was ONE MORE THING to add to The Hubs' TO DO list. Poor guy still busted out an amazing mantle. Just how I wanted it!
My Dad gave me a piece of sheetrock that we could put up around the fireplace for the tile to adhere to. I had to shove it into the jeep to get it out to the house. Don't worry, we're a titch white trash!
The kids loved having "a bridge" on top of them!
I chose a stacked travertine tile to put around the fireplace. I think it added just the right amount of texture that we needed.
Next up: Chunky wood top.
I'll post the finished product soon!
