After calling several places, I realized a) not just anyone feels comfortable doing a fireplace b) this is Texas and everyone was trying to get me to add a hearth. Seriously one guy said "if you don't have a hearth it just looks like a big opening on the wall, unless that is what you are looking for." YES! YES! That is exactly what I am looking for. And c) could I make the fireplace just as amazing without using a quarter of the budget to pay someone to do it? You know I hate paying people to do something we can do ourselves. If you don't know that about me, well now you do. So that led me to start thinking about how we could do the fireplace ourselves. I initially didn't want to do tile because I wanted a smooth surface, but had been toying around with the idea for a few weeks. In the middle of the night a few days ago I woke up with an idea and things have gone from there. I am in love with hexagon tiles and are seriously considering using them. I had to draw it out myself to see if it would work. I did this on Saturday at 3 am. Thank you wrapping paper. This tile from merola tile gives me all the heart eyes, but I'm not sure the size will work. If I don't use it on the fireplace, I'm really considering putting it down in the kitchen. I've also been considering solid black for the fireplace. I've been searching for inspiration pictures, and have found a few to guide me.
Still aren't 100% set on hexagon, but leaning that way! Would love to see any pictures if you have used hexagon tiles in your home.
