Notes from A Maine Interior Designer-Simple Fireplace updates

Tiling your fireplace surround is a little change that has a BIG impact.

It can update an older fireplace without being a large demo project, or add style to a simple existing fireplace.

Most of the concepts above require a MINIMAL amount of accent tile and produce a real WOW factor. I recomend staging the fireplace with birch logs prior to the MLS photos so it looks picture perfect and communicates VALUE$ to prospective buyers.
