Much better looking a breath of fresh air seriously solid job and good taste.
When I have small and large pieces like you have on your Hearth stone. I always try to put the small pieces to the back. Not only for looks but also integrity of what will be the most used spot of the area. Small pieces tend to break into pieces and or off quicker. Also useful for decks patios and rock work.
Looks way better for sure. Like he said, he saved so much money on a project that would've cost so much more! Not to mention the revenue that's going to come in from the video. I call it a win-win no matter what!
Do you know that most tiles have arrows in the back that way the veins have a better chance to go the same direction?
Perfect timing; I was planning to do my fireplace this weekend
I think the difference between you and us, you have that positive touch and determination. Most of US on the other side have the motivation and willingness but it’s the partners in the household that have the negative attitude with any project and once executed, the whole project crumbles. Great partnership and positive support, no matter how it turned out, all great energy. Loved it!
was pretty hyped at first, when you showed it at the beginning of the video from far away. But when i saw you doing the tiles and grout on the tile inner edge.. well, you learn by your mistakes. if you are just a bit unlucky, your tiles will crack there. Also, better spend some more time on layout prep. Anyway, i like the DIY stuff you do.
Looks awesome! though I think you'll regret removing the netting/glass as there is nothing stopping the 'fire sparks'.
I did the same at my house but since I never used the fireplace, that is not an issue. To me fireplaces are decorative, makes no sense to use them when the house is centrally heated and in an even temperature.
stores now have nice decorative screens that look much better than glass
@@bosoares Not everyone has central heating. My house has heat and A/C through most of the house, but the living room was an addition and isn't tied in, so our fireplace is the only way to heat it. And even with central heat, there is just something so nice about cozying up next to the fire.
some pple actually like the hideous stone--- but must say the marble looks sophisticated
I wish I could listen as fast as this gentleman talks.
I've never been this early to his videos before. NICE.
Also: More places for decor, STAT!
good video, your cost breakdown didnt cover tool rentals or tools required which would be good to know going into it. I did a fireplace makeover as well and we are well into by a lot more than you mentioned above. Part of that is tools part of that is a custom hardwood mantel but that was a personal choice we made.
All of those different sizes would make me go crazy.. i'd take the old one over this one.
Will you be doing another local family dining table surprise ? The last one was awesome !! Looking forward to a new surprise for a deserving special someone !!
I love your channel, I love all the videos you've made. I have even applied some of your ideas and techniques, so, thankyou for that.
yeah bruh youtube critics are brutal!! great job though!! nice with the buttah, tile saw safety tip was hilarious--don't get distracted watchin me!! As the centerpiece (the fire place), and as you've done expertly throughout, the grout lines could line up but I think the flow you have with the tile faces are spot on! Watch them change orders hahaha; busting up with your facial expression!! You guys are greatt keep 'em vids a coming!
You should do the inside with other stone too. It would be sick
My brick fireplace is similar on the corners. Why did you remove the wood floor? Why can't you mount the frame on top of the floor directly and need to access the subfloor?
Great job!
Looks really good!
Looks very good 👍🏽👍🏽 nice makeover
Thank you for the cost breakdown
turned out great
Wow now I want to redo my fireplace and I just did it
Your videos are awesome man! I have been a fan since you started and can’t wait to use your ideas on my forever home !
It looks great... The only thing I would suggest is next time rather than adding a small piece of tile at the end of a row, cut the first piece of tile down slightly. Then you won't need small slithers of tile to fill in gaps.
Fantastic, 💥💥💥💥you're both so clever.
I am a huge fan of your reno vids and love all of them! Great job! Am the only one who noticed that your wedding ring is gold? 😲 what happened to the black one?
That room is fucking beautiful
Love the videos. Would love to see how much a quote would be from a contractor so we can see how much you’re saving.
Looks great 👍🏾
More Decor!
Great work! Is there a reason why you usually refrain from alternating pieces? I’ve noticed that for the past few projects that all your tiles comes to 4 corners instead of alternating cuts. Most people I’ve talked to seem to think it’s taboo to have the 4 corners when tiling.
I've noticed also. A staggered pattern would have looked good on the wall in the bathroom from a couple months ago.
Beautiful...IT" PERFECT,💘
Can we order??
This cost less then what I had in mind for a fp remodel and it turned out great
Like you said, looks ok.
How much would u charge for this im doing a fireplace and I just wanna make sure I'm charging enough
question, I am applying to join the electrician union, do you have any tips for a new electrician? I don't have any experience
Awesome!!!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
8:22 is the fireplace crooked or the picture on the wall?
I just wish the two inner corner pieces were cut in L shapes instead of those two out of place small tiles 😩
That giggle after “you make things hard” 😂🤣
You should add the cost of the tools you had to use too. I’m sure I’m not the only one starting with nothing.
5:30 you guys are so cute lol
The only thing I suggest is that next time, aply the tiles all horizontally
I thought the first one was the finish
What happened to the tv lol
You have no idea what an ugly fireplace looks like! That stone look would be a huge upgrade for me.
03:07 starts
Looks very late 90’s. I think mordern fireplaces reuse brick or use a lot more black, not a white marble style. Just my opinion. The room needs to be painted if you want that white marble to work.
That’s a good point; Marble or marble effect looks nice on its own but when we paint next to it the color choice can be tricky. Since most marble is more gray than white, painting the wall with a light color makes it look dark, but painting too dark will pale the tile and take attention off the tile. I’d think maybe using a paint that closely matches the marble color might work? It’d look more cohesive but with the part of the room with marble veining as the focal point.
Third viewer lets go!!
Like the before better man
God loves us all so much He came in the flesh to die and rise so that if we choose to accept Jesus as our one true King letting Him into our hearts and change them we may be gifted eternal salvation through Jesus's perfect sacrifice on the cross for us all. Have a blessed day
I would have kept the original stone. Hate that modern white look
On the corners you have to make only one cute in square you are installed Two pieces there no Bueno
IRINA! Stop making things "harder!" haha....
really sloppy in general. Take an extra day and have a finish that is crisp.
I hate it, it looks awful, the marble is way to cool tone, gross
Good thing your opinion means absolutely fuck all.
There was nothing hideous about that fireplace. When redesigning you must realize that what is trendy today may not be when you try to sell your home. Design it in a way that still improves the value of your home regardless of how trends come and go. That light colored marble may be appealing in the summer when it’s warm, but can exude a cold icy feel in the winter. Not what you want. A fireplace must exude a cozy warm feel about. Hard cold marble doesn’t do that. If you don’t like brick then go with stone.
Ah, the cliché black and white only american interior. No colour allowed anymore? Wouldn't want to live there... No character at all.
Oh so 1 - 10 youtube videos show American homes with white/black interiors and all of a sudden you're gonna generalize the whole country. And great, we don't want you in America anyway, rainbow.
His Living Space is Straight Green, so goes to show you made a generalization without finding more information.
Just no. Why are all your rooms just chalk...? Might as well be in a hospital.
Nice job dude, another great video and the end result looks amazing! For the sake of others watching, I thought I’d share a couple things from when I used to set tile that may help out too: 1) try and match your thin set color and tile color as best you can. That way you don’t have to be as critical with the knife cleaning up before grouting. Also, if you use a natural marble stone instead of porcelain, the dark thin set can really darken the look of the marble, not ideal. Not a big deal if you use porcelain/ceramic though. 2) for corners, also consider making L cuts instead of two separate tiles. This will keep your uniform grout lines. 3) before tiling, think about the focal point and base your pattern off that, and tie it to both vertical and horizontal surfaces. For example, if you snap a line from the center of the fireplace to the top, then use a straight edge and continue that down under the fireplace, onto the bench, and onto the ground, it really brings things together and is more visually appealing. This is absolutely a nit picky thing that NO ONE would notice (unless they set tile), but if you do it, it really is more visually appealing. Your work speaks for itself and it’s still gorgeous - very cool to see you and your wife working on these great projects together too. You should be really proud!
I’m cccc
Honest question; Why use the spacer pieces on the bottom, but then fore-go them on the upper trim? The whole time I was fixated on the small square tiles on the upper face, no spacer was used and I can see the "unsquared" tile the whole time. Grout helps, but one adjustment and it would look way more square. Is this a style preference? Do I have OCD? Am I wasting my time commenting about someone else house and if they enjoy it then that all that matters????
Thinking the same thing..
Isn't the water in the cutter also preventing people from inhaling the material? I've always been told that it reduces the dust amount so people don't inhale stone/marble. :)
It’s mainly for cooling since tile cutters wear respirators
It’s mostly cooling. You really *should* wear a mask too, but we rarely did tbh. Trying to move quick, not the optimal move though
He sayd it makes lots of dust
I thought the original fireplace was decent. But damn, the new one looks awesome. Good job, it turned out great!
Definately looks better than the original stone - marble always retains its style no matter what trends come and go. Only slight criticism are the joints in the tiling, if they had have matched up in more of a linear bond it would have been PRO AF!
That's not marble....
The grout saved you. Good look. Good design.
Awesome job! Your channel honestly makes me feel like I can do near any remodels/makeovers in my house. Super inspiring, keep it up
$375 plus the tile saw, tiling tools, 2x4s for framing...
I'm a long time watcher and I love your content brotha but that fire place looks way 80's......but again I love your channel and keep gettin it 🤘😁🤙
Very pretty, but I'm waiting for your wife to come in and tell you to redo it, like the doors. 😁😄😂 kidding!!
I think the black cabinet needs moved. It's distracting from the fireplaces beauty.
I had my doubts DURING the process, but the outcome was stunning!!! Great job!
Well done buddy - looks great! The only thing that triggered my OCD ;) was the corner cuts on the top left and right corners of the fire place.. once the grout was put in it covered it up! Overall well done legend
Man that was crazy affordable and it looks great. If you had to do it over what would you do differently?
Nice job. Coulda used schluter Jolly around fireplace to give u a nice finished edge
For the cost that was an insane transformation! Love the great energy and loads of tips, thank you!
Can Irina do some home decorating videos for us?? I know it’s your Chanel, but I love that she’s working with you on projects, and her decorating is on point!! I’d love some holiday decor!!
Looks good from about 5 feet away, once you get close you can tell by the look of the grout lines he spend a half hour on layout prep.
I feel like he didnt layout prep tiles and he chud of use one piece of tile doing fireplace top corners
Yes, he admitted he aint a tile guy, just a DIY guy. The bathroom he did earlier had the same layout issue, and the grout lines were off then too!!! But well, whats there to lose, the imperfections are there for him to see :D :D
Yeah, looks pretty terrible. Who replaces bricks with tiles? Wtf.
@@zloungeact well the bricks they had there weren’t really beautiful.
As someone that works in the industry. There is not one job that is perfect, all that matters is the customer is satisfied. The customer sets his own expectations and is okay with it. This is a win win. This job wasn’t done for Tom L. Also the way trends go I wouldn’t be surprised if the white on white marble look goes away. Watch this be remade 5 to 10 years later, not for quality of install but customer preference or what is most popular at the time.
Wow looks amazing!! What a difference. Plus you saved a lot of money doing it yourself and using marble like tile instead of slabs.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another great transformation it looks Brilliant!!!
looks good man, cant wait to get my own house and try some things out
I love you guys and I have watched the majority of your videos - highly support what you’ve accomplished.
Not gonna lie, I liked the look fo the stones more than the marble (minus the mantle), but solid work regardless.
Turned out great! Love the podcast btw.
Wow that looks fantastic! Awesome job! I love how you explained what each bucket was for and included tips and tutorials and products and mistakes for people who have no experience. Thank you! I love how you and your wife work together on decisions and projects too. You make a great team!
Looks nice. Don't try and shut down the conversations. (i.e. don't comment about getting rid of the stone. Or I'm not a tile guy so don't comment that I was supposed to do it this way.) Other potential DIYers want to hear the good bad and ugly, especially from the pros. The best welcome all comments which may sound something like "how did I do? What did you love about it? Is there anything you think I should have done differently? Share all your thoughts in the comments, like, And subscribe."
Tiles don't line up. Any why did you cut the top corner of the fireplace into 2 pieces? Should've cut it as an L shape.
I can't look past that, but isn't really noticable once the grout went on
Seriously, I think the more popular this channel gets, the quality dips down.
Great transformation! I like the snap intro of the before and after
Looks awesome. Keep up the great content and I'll buy the house when your done lol
It’s looks so damn easy when you do it…. Ha ha /greetings Sweden-Stockholm
Love this channel man! Keep up the great content. giving me and my family some good ideas
VPN ads are the worst things to happen to TH-camrs.
Full of so much FUD and flat out lies.
I would go for light bricks or stone. Tiles are tricky on fireplace. The layout in here is a bit odd.
Notification gang! 💪🏻
I think after watching your videos I feel a little more comfortable with doing tile work.
Love this!!! You don’t know what hideous is unless you see our fireplace. We are getting ready to redo it. Yours looks amazing!!!!!
I thought it was one big stone before he said it's tile lol
A quick question, without concern of moisture like in bathroom, is it ok to just use draywall, no the hardie backer? thanks,
Under $400 is crazy compared to having it done by a company which could cost around 5-10K. I have a similar ugly old brick fireplace and was quoted it would at least cost 5-8K for it to be redone especially having to do a gas insert in it as well
Looks great Alex. You do great work👍. Keep em comming!!
