It may have touches of tan (since it's a natural stone they all vary), but the majority is white and gray...I was very particular because I was trying to stay away from tan tones.

I can't really speak to what would happen to the grout if you burned wood logs next to it because we don't use our fireplace. We are holding out until we get a gas insert installed...whenever that might be. ;) (We had the gas line run to the fireplace when we were doing our other renovations.)Gabbi @ Retro Ranch Renohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14641909611270428996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697923394447366233.post-57634889424358866532015-09-25T15:16:19.235-04:002015-09-25T15:16:19.235-04:00Thank you SO much!! :)Thank you SO much!! :)Gabbi @ Retro Ranch Renohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14641909611270428996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697923394447366233.post-71321062002959193752015-09-25T15:15:40.995-04:002015-09-25T15:15:40.995-04:00Thanks so much, Beverly!

For starters, WOWOWOW seriously, your ...Hi there! <br /><br />For starters, WOWOWOW seriously, your fireplace make-over looks amazing!!! <br /><br />I stumbled across this blog because I too have a very dingy old brick fire-place that I'm tired of looking at and have decided to paint it white... so I wanted some inspiration. My hearth is currently tiled with old, dated terracotta tile and I really want to re-tile it and had decided on doing marble too.... not the honeycomb (although yours looks incredible) but something similar... the quatrefoil moroccan lattice pattern. ANYWAY, I'm rambling. <br /><br />I have a few concerns regarding the marble and would love your input. How has your marble held up? Did you install the glossy finish or the tumbled? Is it hard to keep clean with the black soot? And lastly, has it scratched or cracked?<br /><br />I too would love a gas fireplace but it's not in my budget so I will have to stick with the wood-burning. Thank you, in advance, for any help you can offer me!<br /><br />SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697923394447366233.post-9178598830369421112015-09-16T11:40:34.051-04:002015-09-16T11:40:34.051-04:00Thanks Erica!
