DIY: Fireplace Facelift

I've been working very hard this weekend to update the look of my fireplace. Thanks to my friend, Ryan, this project is coming along very well. It was under 20 degrees outside when we were cutting tiles with wet saw around midnight. Yes, we are both hardcore and we don't play around. Here are some pictures. Hopefully, we can finish up this project early next week.

This would be the last time my fireplace would look this ugly....

We used 4 of these to glue tiles to the fireplace.
