1928 Fireplace
This home had an old brick surround fireplace. The sides were uneven widths - off 3/4" - very noticeable! The mortar between the bricks was so old it was like baby powder in places!
So, the old firebrick was replaced, and the outside surround was clad in cement board for stability....
Installed the new ceramic tile on the surround and on the hearth....
And even painted the mantle molding to match the new fireplace colors....What
a difference !!!

A detail shot, before installation, of the matching Art Nouveau flowers. You can see how the custom glaze pooled into almost crystalline beauty....
