the travertine over the fireplace is up...

13 years ago

if anyone remembers, i was polling on here on which to use for my fireplace, the travertine or the stacked stone. we went with the travertine and i'm in love. the mantel will be painted on wednesday (the same color as the built-ins). will post finished product later in the week. it's being grouted and you can hardly see the lines that you see in the pic below.

That is absolutely beautiful! Before I read your post I thought the wood was a different color stone and thought how beautiful that combo looked. I'm thinking beekeeperswife might be thinking like I was.

Beautiful! The little bit I can see of the room reminds me of a Candice Olson room.

WOW, that's gorgeous. May I ask, how was the substrate (the original fireplace) prepared for the travertine?

beekeeper: the inside surround is the slab of the same travertine that the tiles are made from...silver vein cut travertine. i would have done the whole thing in slab but it was way over our budget.

flyleft: no particular preparation. it's just painted drywall. the slab surround was stuck on w/epoxy. the tiles above the wood mantel were put on using mortar.

WOW again, srg. Just epoxy on painted drywall, and then mortar on painted drywall? Wow again. I'm bringing my husband over to see this. Of course, we have a brick monstrosity we have to tile over, but this gives me renewed energy...can't wait to see the finished-finished pics.

I love the large scale running bond...though maybe that will kind of disappear once the grouting is done. Really marvelous!
