Fireplace inspiration




I love dragonflies and what they symbolize: life and strength. Its colors aren't bad either. The master suite has a fireplace that I decided to tile w/ glass. It embodies the colors of the dragonfly. Plus, when you look at the tile at an angle, it gives off bits of red or purple. You can't quite make it out but it picks up the red in the space so subtly. I got the tile sample from United Tile.
Also I decided to tile the fireplace from floor to ceiling to give a uniqueness to the place. It also showcases the tile in such a classy way. I wanted the clients to be wowed by the space and didn't want to provide the usual way a fireplace should look like (tiled surround w/ a mantel piece up top). This style is too traditional. The couple is a bit traditional but not so much. They wanted a more updated yet casual look and wanted to see some architectural detail in their room remodels.
