Quince Avenue, Boulder

Asymmetrical, two-color, concrete fireplace surround

 

 

This fireplace was crying out for an update.   A mauve colored tile surround did not create the focal point the room needed.   Working with the new homeowner,  I designed a unique 3 piece surround that took advantage of the niche to the left of the fireplace.  Incorporated into the hearth and mantle, the niche will serve as useful wood storage below and a display area above.   The  sleek, modern ‘dark chocolate’ stained concrete contrasts beautifully with the natural gray vertical element.  No more bad 1980’s tile job here!
