I got exposed to stone and tile, and loved it. Last night, I had to go to Lowe’s to pick up some paint, and while I was there, I gravitated toward the tile department, to see how they merchandised the product. I have to say, I was most impressed this year with 3-D stone in wave formats and interwoven pieces. Yes, it’s pricey.

We also stoned the fireplace insert. 2) Look what a difference just painting red brick does.The architecture of the fireplace now really stands out instead of the color, so do those woods floors. So we covered up the brick with black granite tiles and painted the tired wood white so now the dental moldings really show up.

So a really inexpensive way of fixing that, was to paint it a flat black, it does the trick every time. Of course I painted the polished brass a flat black, changed the surround again to a warmer travertine tile and check out the mantel, BAM right? Well I mean the paint helped too, ha! I had cheap outdated stone mantel.

For instance, we take a line that was just a micro-bevel or square edge; now, we make it painted. Most products use limestone, which is a very soft stone. Many times, even though it’s supposed to be 50% stone powders, 50% plastic, I see cores that have maybe 10% or 20% stone powder in it. Now it’s selling well.
