The Fireplace

Okay, I know this isn't part of the kitchen, but we are having the contractor replace the tiles of the fireplace. If you haven't noticed, it's PINK. It has to go.

I've thought long and hard about what to replace these tiles with...and it's been really tough. Right now, we are considering a brownish red rectangular mosaic tile pattern. Mosaics can look really good as a small swatch, but it might be a completely different story when it's a slab of it. So, we are still contemplating whether we want mosaic or larger, simpler tiles. Here are a couple of samples we were looking at:


I don't think I'll last staring at that ripped out fireplace for long though...so we'll have to decide soon. Stay tuned...
